Abstract
Metabonomics, the study of
changes in metabolic states due to a perturbation, is typically performed in
mammals by characterizing biofluids or tissue samples, or in plants by analysis
of extracts. The goal of metabonomics studies is to collect as much chemical
information as possible about the identity and relative concentrations of
endogenous metabolites in samples from control and treated (perturbed)
organisms. In this study the metabolic response of Oryza sativa (rice) is
examined using 1H NMR measurements of small molecule metabolites
including amino acids, sugars and TCA cycle intermediates.
