FP23145Plant response to heavy metal stress toxicity: the role of metabolomics and other omics tools
Metabolomics is an excellent analytical profiling tool to understand the molecular network underpinning the operation of the numerous metabolic pathways present in plants. This review focuses on recent research that employed metabolomics and other omics platforms to obtain a thorough understanding of how plants respond to heavy metal stress and a detailed examination of the metabolic pathways that regulate them. A detailed picture of a cell’s metabolic activities can be obtained via metabolomics, together with information on potential target pathways.
