Abstract

Metabolism is the key cellular process of plant physiology. Understanding metabolism and its dynamical behavior under different conditions may help plant biotechnologists to design new cultivars with desired goals. Computational systems biochemistry and incorporation of different omics data unravelled active metabolism and its variations in plants. In this review, we mainly focus on the basics of flux balance analysis (FBA), elementary flux mode analysis (EFMA), and some advanced computational tools. We describe some important results that were obtained using these tools. Limitations and challenges are also discussed.
