Abstract:

In recent years,with continuous and complex environmental changes,biotic and abiotic stresses frequently burst out in nature,and many stresses seriously affect plant normal growth and development,especially crop yield. The metabolic remodeling under stresses are the consequences of interactions between genotypes and surrounding environments,are the direct reflections of plant physiological phenotypes and biochemical activities,and largely reflects the plant response and defense to stresses. The rise of metabolomics provides a reliable way to study the metabolic remodeling in different tissues and under stresses in plants. Meanwhile,the integrations of metabolome with genome,transcriptome,proteome and phenome,especially metabolome-genome association analysis by the integration of genome and metabolome play an important role in revealing the genetic basis of plant response and adaptation to stresses,in improving crop yield and in developing stress-tolerant crop varieties. In this paper,the metabolome research method,the diversity of the metabolic remodeling and the genetic basis of plant metabolome under stresses are reviewed,and the application prospects and limitations of plant metabolomics in plant stress biology are also prospected.

Key words: metabolomics, stresses, metabolic remodeling, genetic basis, regulatory mechanism
