Understanding the physiological response of crops to chitin in the growing medium: a metabolomics approach Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Exactly what physiological processes take place inside plants when chitin is added to their growth substrate? That's what the researchers want to find out by using a metabolomics approach using liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS).
A metabolomic approach, one of the newer branches within "omics", makes it possible to use metabolites that reflect a particular ...
