Abiotic Stress in Plants and Metabolic Responses - Abiotic Stress: Plant Responses and Applications in Agriculture - page 39

between plants at the genus and species levels, exposing intimate correlation with genetic
backgrounds. Nevertheless, the application of more advanced metabolomics tools will lead to
new knowledge that will accelerate the design and the improvement of plant breeding projects,
that surely will lead to the next generation of crops for specific applications in particular
circumstances to cope with abiotic and biotic stress on agricultural crops worldwide.
