Primary metabolism and secondary metabolism are the two types of metabolism in plants. All plants have primary metabolism metabolites, such as sugars, lipids, amino acids, and others, which are required for supporting cellular life processes. The secondary metabolites produced are also a class of small molecule organic compounds that are not essential for plant growth and development, while many secondary metabolites are involved in plant resistance, disease resistance, and other processes or have physiological activity and other roles. This is true even though secondary metabolism in different species, organs, tissues, and growth and development periods of specific species are different. Widely-targeted metabolomics can provide a valuable foundation for analyzing plant metabolic pathways and biological questions by detecting these types of substances.
Lifeasible use LC-MS/MS technology to perform broadly targeted quantitative metabolomic detection and analysis of plant metabolites. The widely targeted metabolomics service we provide for plant metabolites combines non-targeted technology with targeted MRM technology, which has the technical advantages of identifying multiple substances, accurate characterization and quantification, wide dynamic range, high sensitivity, and good reproducibility. Currently, it is widely used in the detection of complex plant metabolites.
