Plant Nutrition

Plant nutrition may be a large field where there are now the primary indications that metabolite profiling will have an impression . In a landmark study have reported on a general strategy for integrating transcript and metabolite profiling data in the investigation of the response of plants to nutritional stress. The application that they described intimately was the investigation of sulfur deficiency in Arabidopsis thaliana plants. The metabolomics data were primarily generated using FTMS, which, as discussed before, has got to be crazy some caution thanks to the absence of a printed validation of the application of this technology to metabolite profiling. Metabolomics and transcriptomics data were integrated and analyzed using a complex statistical technique termed “batch-learning self-organizing maps”. Micronutrient concentrations in plants are important in host ability to resist or tolerate infectious pathogens. The tolerance of host plants to diseases is measured by the power to take care of growth and/or yield in spite of infections (Turdgill, 1986). The resistance of the host plants is decided by plant ability to limit penetration, development, and/or reproduction of invading pathogens, and therefore the resistance varies with species or genotype of the two organisms, plant age, and changes within the environment. Sporulation of the parasite Fusorium oxyspoum (Jones et al., 1990), while expanded degrees of soil Fe, Mn, and Zn profited the extension and sporulation of the pathogen.
