A range of different separation and detection techniques are being refined and expanded, and their combination with advanced data management and data analysis approaches is already giving plant scientist's far deeper insights into the complexity of plant metabolism and plant metabolic composition than was imaginable just a few years ago. We recently applied metabolomic analyses to several different research projects. Here we present two examples; one for the use of metabolomics in applied research and the other to demonstrate the role of metabolomics in basic research.
