Abstract

Exploitation of genome sequences on public databases requires integrated approaches to determine gene function. Rapid phenotype fingerprinting is essential to exploit reverse genetics resources, such as the ATIS gene tag Arabidopsis mutant collection. We propose a hierarchical metabolomics approach opening with machine learning computational of high-throughput analysis of plant metabolites to facilitate comprehensive gene function determination. A major output will be a metabolome fingerprint database that will provide the basis of future applied post-genomic technologies for high-throughput mode- of-action analysis for agrochemical discovery as well as plant breeding, substantial equivalence testing of GMOs and food quality assessment. (Joint with grants 17716, 17717 and 17718).
