Humana Plant Metabolomics: Methods and Protocols 1778 Book

Standardizing research steps is a major requirement in the field of plant metabolomics. This specialized volume from the Methods in Molecular Biology series (1778) addresses this need by providing a comprehensive collection of mass spectrometry (MS)-based protocols. Researchers can access detailed methodologies covering the entire workflow, starting from essential sample preparation and the extraction of both primary and secondary metabolites. The text covers a wide range of compounds, including lipids, sugars, phytohormones, and volatile organic compounds. By focusing on highly sensitive MS-based methodologies, this book helps ensure the production of reliable biological data. Beyond laboratory techniques, the book includes guidance on frontline bioinformatics and mathematical modeling approaches. This helps scientists move from raw data to meaningful biological interpretation. It serves as a vital resource for those working in biochemistry and plant sciences who require consistent and reproducible results in their metabolomics studies.
