Plants are responsible for incredible feats of molecular transformation. Plant processes, such as photosynthesis, photophosphorylation, chemiosmosis, carbon fixing reactions, respiration, are presented in this tutorial.

2024年10月11日 · What is Plant Metabolism? Plant metabolism encompasses a vast array of chemical reactions occurring within plant cells, all of which are meticulously organized and interconnected. Collectively, these reactions form the foundation of life in plants and are essential for growth, development, and response to environmental stimuli.

2019年7月1日 · Plants produce a myriad of structurally and functionally diverse metabolites that play many different roles in plant growth and development and in plant response to continually changing environmental conditions as well as abiotic and biotic stresses.

Secondary metabolism produces a large number of specialized compounds (estimated 200,000) that do not aid in the growth and development of plants but are required for the plant to survive in its environment. Secondary metabolism is connected to primary metabolism by using building blocks and biosynthetic enzymes derived from primary metabolism.

2021年5月2日 · Metabolism. Plants can synthesize most of the organic matter on earth by assimilating inorganic elements (carbon and nitrogen), from the environment into organic molecules, driven by energy from sunlight.

Metabolomics is a promising way to interpret biotic and abiotic stress tolerance in plants. The study of metabolic profiling revealed different types of metabolites, e.g., amino acids, carbohydrates, phenols, polyamines, terpenes, etc, which are accumulated in plants.

Advances in the field of metabolomics have contributed significantly toward an understanding of plant biology and identification of key pathways and plant molecules that participate in several biological processes.

2019年1月1日 · Plants produce a huge array of metabolites in spatiotemporal- and/or environment-dependent manner, which not only make it a challenge to understand plant metabolic diversity but also render plants ideal models for identifying …

Plant metabolomics is a rapidly advancing field of plant sciences and systems biology. It involves comprehensive analyses of small molecules (metabolites) in plant tissues and cells.

2025年1月16日 · Enzymes are the primary mechanism of metabolic control; another process uses transport systems in the organelle membranes. Glycolysis and isoprenoid pathways are important in plants. Plant mitochondria also metabolize malate and glycine, and possess a cyanide-resistant alternative respiratory chain.
