PlantMetabolomics

PlantMetabolomics provides integrated targeted and untargeted mass spectrometry metabolomics data and analytical workflows to support functional genomics investigations of Arabidopsis thaliana.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive data collection: Integrates targeted and untargeted mass spectrometry metabolomics data across multiple metabolomics platforms covering 140 Arabidopsis thaliana mutant lines.
• Hypothesis generation: Enables comparative analysis of metabolic changes in mutant lines to generate hypotheses about gene function and roles in metabolic pathways.
• Preprocessing and data-mining procedures: Supports selection of preprocessing and data-mining procedures for downstream analyses.
• Visualization and integration: Provides visualization capabilities and cross-links to other relevant biological databases to support data interpretation.

Scientific Applications:

• Functional genomics of Arabidopsis thaliana: Link metabolic profiles to gene function, including analysis of genes of unknown function.
• Mutation impact analysis: Characterize the metabolic consequences of genetic mutations across 140 mutant lines.
• Metabolic network modeling: Support development and testing of metabolic network models that predict phenotypic outcomes.

Methodology:

Integrates targeted and untargeted mass spectrometry metabolomics data and supports selection of preprocessing and data-mining procedures, with visualization and cross-linking to other biological databases.
