Biotic Stress Metabolomics Analysis Services

Biotic stress refers to the challenges plants face from biological factors like pathogens, pests, fungi, and viruses during growth. In response to these stresses, plants trigger complex biochemical reactions, altering their metabolic pathways to bolster their defenses. These metabolic changes involve fluctuations in both primary and secondary metabolites, including the production and accumulation of antioxidants, plant hormones, and volatile organic compounds. Such changes are crucial not only for the plant's disease resistance but also for its growth, development, yield, and overall quality.

 

Metabolomics, a vital tool in systems biology, provides comprehensive insights into the metabolites present in plants under biotic stress, uncovering defense mechanisms and metabolic regulatory networks. By analyzing the metabolome under biotic stress, researchers can better understand plant resistance mechanisms, develop more resilient crop varieties, and optimize strategies for plant protection.
