Plant Nutrient Metabolomics Analysis Services

Plant nutrient metabolomics explores the changes in metabolites within plants under varying nutritional conditions. By analyzing these metabolic shifts, researchers can gain insights into the mechanisms of nutrient absorption, distribution, utilization, and storage in plants. These nutrient metabolic pathways are crucial not only for plant growth and yield but also for their ability to adapt to environmental changes. As such, plant nutrient metabolomics analysis holds significant value in agricultural production, plant nutrition research, crop improvement, and sustainable agriculture.

 

This analysis identifies and quantifies metabolites related to essential nutrients, including macronutrients and micronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, and zinc. The fluctuations in these metabolites indicate the physiological state and adaptive responses of plants under specific nutritional conditions, providing the scientific basis for optimizing fertilization strategies, enhancing nutrient use efficiency, and improving crop yields.

 

MtoZ Biolabs offers Plant Nutrient Metabolomics Analysis Services using high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). This advanced method combines the separation capabilities of HPLC with the detection power of MS, ensuring high sensitivity and specificity in metabolites detection.
