Metabolomics is developing as an important functional genomics tool; however, there is still room for technical improvements in both the large-scale determination of metabolites from complex plant tissues and the dissemination of metabolomics research data. For the continued maturation of metabolomi
Cell cycle events in embryo axes of Norway maple (Acer platanoides L.) seeds were studied during dormancy breaking by flow cytometric analyses of the nuclear DNA content and by immunodetection of β-tubulin. Most embryonic nuclei of dry, fully matured seeds were arrested in the G2 phase of the cell c
Advanced functional genomic tools now allow the parallel and high-throughput analyses of gene and protein expression. Although this information is crucial to our understanding of gene function, it offers insufficient insight into phenotypic changes associated with metabolism. Here we introduce a hig
Plants are the basis of human nutrition and have been selected and improved to assure this purpose. Nowadays, new technologies such as genetic engineering and genomics approaches allow further improvement of plants. We describe here three examples for which these techniques have been employed. We in
