Editorial: Metabolomics in crop research – current and emerging methodologies, volume II

Abstract

Metabolomics’ potential in plant and crop research is immense, thus giving an important contribution to improve crop yield and quality, to understand plant development and response to the environment, to pathogens, to assess food safety and maximize agriculture profits. This is the second edition of the Research Topic “Metabolomics in Crop Research - Current and Emerging Methodologies”. It contains 10 articles from 81 authors that highlight the current methodologies and applications of metabolomics for the discrimination of crop species and cultivars, in the analysis of a crop’s response to biotic and abiotic stresses, in the characterization of important compounds as well as the discovery of new compounds and metabolic pathways...
