Chapter Four Metabolite profiling: From metabolic engineering to functional genomics

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter presents several examples to illustrate the metabolic engineering of existing plant metabolism. The reviews introduction novel pathways with emphasis on limitations these approaches. studies reviewed in reveal that current limitation is no longer generation transgenic lines specifically altered desired enzymatic steps, but rather speed analysis networks lines. A drive increase and width through development metabolite profiling procedures based upon GC/MS has enhanced snapshot can be quickly taken all applications so far reported led substantial surprises. power combined advanced data mining approaches as a phenotyping tool raises prospects an exciting future for accelerating progress assembling large jigsaw puzzle functional genomics.
