✦ Synopsis

Methods for network-wide analysis are increasingly showing that the textbook view of the regulation of plant metabolism is often incomplete and misleading. Recent innovations in small-molecule analysis have created the ability to rapidly identify and quantify numerous compounds, and these data are creating new opportunities for understanding plant metabolism and for plant metabolic engineering.
