Abstract
The new era of functional genomics is leading towards the discovery of gene functions. Genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics aim to acquire a comprehensive and integrated understanding of living organisms. Metabolomics defines the phenotype of an organism from the chemical point of view, by analysing the ultimate products of the entire metabolic network at a certain point in time. Plant metabolomics is a powerful tool in systems biology and functional genomics studies, it has already been applied for agricultural purposes (screening of progeny stability, analysis of plant-pathogen interaction), in substantial equivalence studies of GMO and in quality evaluation of food, beverages and phytomedicines. The range of metabolites in an organism is so diverse that so far none of the analytical technologies applied for metabolomics studies purpose result to be adequate, and a combination of them must be used
