The genome of Chenopodium quinoa
The assembly of a high-quality, chromosome-scale reference genome sequence for quinoa was produced using single-molecule real-time sequencing in combination with optical, chromosomes-contact and genetic maps, which facilitated the identification of the transcription factor likely to control the production of anti-nutritional triterpenoid saponins found in quinoa seeds.

The stability of derivatized amines was found to be variable with oxidatively labile derivatives rapidly degrading, and with the inclusion of antioxidant and reducing agents, tris(2-carboxyethyl)-phosphine and ascorbic acid, degradation was significantly decreased, allowing reproducible identification and quantification of amine compounds in large sample sets.

Review of recent developments in GC–MS approaches to metabolomics-based research
Specific emphasis is given to the key steps within the GC–MS workflow that those new to this field need to be aware of and the common pitfalls that should be looked out for when starting in this area.
Diurnal Changes in Transcript and Metabolite Levels during the Iron Deficiency Response of Rice

- 20 April 2017
This study confirmed that rice shares a similar peak time of Fe deficiency associated induction of DMA secretion compared to other Strategy II plant species but has less prominent daily fluctuations of D MA secretion and revealed metabolic changes associated with the remediation ofFe deficiency and mitigation of damage from resulting stress in rice roots.
Metabolite profiling of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) phloem exudate

This study demonstrates that it is possible to determine metabolite profiles from extremely small volumes ofphloem exudate and that this method can be used to determine variability within the metabolite profile of phloem that has occurred with changes in maturity.
