“…As natural experts in organic synthesis, plants are able to generate large numbers of specific metabolites with widely varying structures, such as lipids, nucleic acids, amino acids, peptides, carbohydrates, organic acids, ketones, aldehydes, amines, steroids, vitamins, signaling molecules, hormones, polyphenols, and some other small-molecule metabolic intermediates, which play an important role in the growth and development of plants [ 1 ]. Metabolomic profiling can provide botanists with the chemical fingerprint that represents the biochemical state of an organism or sample at a specific point in time, thus revealing biochemical and molecular mechanisms more effectively [ 2 ].…”
