“…In addition, a range of developmental processes have been followed at high resolution by a combination of transcript and metabolite profiles. Such studies are dominated by studies of fruit ripening (Zamboni et al, 2010;Lin et al, 2015;Vallarino et al, 2015) and leaf development (Pick et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2014); however, they are not limited to these processes, with studies also covering the development of various organs, lignin deposition, and the establishment of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis (Vanholme et al, 2013;Laparre et al, 2014;Nakamura et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2014). In this regard, these approaches prove informative in clarifying the relative importance of seemingly redundant pathways of biosynthesis and the degradation of specific metabolites or may also help to define the role of those primary metabolites (e.g.…”
