Abiotic Stress Metabolomics Analysis Services

Plants in natural environments often encounter various abiotic stresses such as drought, extreme temperatures, salinity, and heavy metal contamination. These stressors trigger complex metabolic responses, leading to the accumulation of specific metabolites and significantly affecting plant growth, stress resistance, and physiological status. For instance, under drought stress, plants accumulate proline and abscisic acid (ABA) to maintain osmotic balance; heat stress induces the production of heat shock proteins and antioxidants to mitigate damage; salinity stress leads to the synthesis of betaine and malondialdehyde to protect cellular structures. Additionally, heavy metal stress triggers the production of phytochelatins and antioxidant enzymes for detoxification. Abiotic stress metabolomics analysis systematically reveals the metabolic changes in plants under various stress conditions, enhancing our understanding of their adaptation mechanisms and resistance strategies. This analysis is vital for agricultural research, crop improvement, and environmental adaptability studies.
