Mass spectrometry has evolved into a powerful tool that is being implemented in a variety of ways across a wide range of disciplines. Important advances in plant research have been reported through the use of mass spectrometry based technologies, including omics and imaging workflows, among others. These technologies are used in a systems biology approach that has lead to important advancements through a better understanding of plant biochemistry. For example, the identification of phytochemicals for nutritional and medicinal purposes, the detection of biomarkers for identifying important genetic variations and understanding plant defense mechanisms, are just some of the research areas that have benefited from mass spectrometry. This thematic series will explore the diversity of applications of mass spectrometry that have been used to further plant science research.
