Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolomics has become a widely recognized approach to studying biological phenomena in biological, environmental, and other samples. This approach aims at gathering an abundance of data on several hundreds of compounds, and subsequent data-mining to find explanations to the phenomena of interest.
This Special Issue is devoted to publishing research papers that use the metabolomics approach on plants or extracts thereof, as well as review papers on plant metabolomics-related topics.
Therefore, we invite manuscripts on different aspects of plant biology and plant natural product chemistry that use the metabolomic approach, including but not limited to agricultural applications, plant–pathogen interactions, endophytes, quality control, and chemotaxonomy. Papers on plant-specific sample preparation, metabolite databases, or other technical improvements are also welcome. The main methods used should be LC-MS, NMR, GC-MS, or other techniques, with suitable quality control measures taken, followed by data-mining for the phenomena of interest, and putative identification of the analytes of interest. Papers on medicinal plants, functional foods, spices, and otherwise economically important plants, and manuscripts that utilize fortification of data by using a wide array of authentic standards are especially welcome.
Research papers not utilizing the above techniques, those with no or improper annotations (putative identification) of analytes, those without proper identification of the plant material, and those without any quality control assessment will not be considered.
The Special Issue is open for submission now. A proper extension may be granted. Please kindly let us know in advance if you plan to make a submission. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the Special Issue website.
Dr. Sandor Gonda
