Abstract

Knowledge of plant metabolism is fundamental for understanding mechanisms involved in plant growth and development, as well as those related to plant responses to various abiotic and biotic stresses. Metabolomics is a scientific field that provides valuable information and contributes to our understanding of the biology of any organism, such as plants, by unravelling the metabolic profile of an organism. Essentially, metabolomics is a key analytical tool useful to study plant systems and it has already contributed to our understanding of a number of different biological processes. This valuable tool has become even more important and useful with the development of high-throughput metabolomic technologies. These tools have allowed for our global understanding of functional outcomes of metabolites in apples, including those associated with fruit quality traits. Therefore, as the amount of metabolomics data has increased, public databases have evolved in order to collect and catalog these data to aid in exploiting the fundamental knowledge of these metabolite datasets in order to unravel metabolic pathways. In this chapter, we will explore the global value of metabolomics, provide an overview of analytical tools that are commonly used in metabolic profiling, as well as assess their values in developing a better understanding of apple fruit quality traits.
