Metabolomics is the scientific study of small-molecule metabolites—the chemical products of cellular processes—that provide a comprehensive snapshot of an organism's biochemical state. For plants, metabolomics is particularly valuable as it reveals how plants respond to environmental stresses, synthesize important compounds, and adapt their metabolism to changing conditions. By analyzing a plant's complete metabolite profile, researchers can better understand the biochemical basis of plant traits, nutritional quality, and stress resilience.
