Recent applications of metabolomics in plant biotechnology.

Organism	Application	Technology used	Reference
Catharanthus roseus	Improvement of the production of anticancer indole alkaloid by overexpression of ORCA3 and G10H in C. roseus plants	NMR	[68]
Panicum virgatum  (switchgrass)	Increased amounts of phenolic acids and a monolignol analog associated with more facile cell wall deconstruction	GC-MS	[69]
Solanum tuberosum (L)	Increased drought tolerance by expression of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase 1	GC-MS	[70]
Oryza sativa	Modulation of salt tolerance by reduction of OsSUT1 (O. sativa sucrose transporter 1) expression	GC-TOF-MS	[71]
Arabidopsis thaliana	Distinguish transgenic and nontransgenic plants	NMR	[72]
Solanum Lycopersicum	Higher accumulation of flavonoids and thus nutritional value in tomato plants carrying a mutation in HP1/LeDDB1 gene	LC-ESI-MS/MS	[73]
