Abstract

ABSTRACT: The chemical composition of the food crops is the main source to determine their nutritional value and safety for consumption. The latest development in metabolomics characterizes the metabolic profile of crop plants in a high-throughput experimental approach. It is an important branch of “omics” to identify, quantify, and characterize metabolites and cellular regulatory pathway processes in various biological species. The complete metabolite of an organism is called the metabolome. It can be assessed to know the genetic or environmental differences in plant species. The metabolomics play a significant part in finding out gene-environment interactions, mutant identification, phenotyping, and biomarkers' identification and characterization. The concept of metabolomics is an emerging method to unravel the complications of different metabolic pathway networks linked to various stress tolerance in crops. Advanced metabolomics is a term that refers to the study of the metaboli
