Overview of metabolomics-assisted breeding using metabolomics tools to study abiotic and biotic stress regulation in plants. Primary metabolism produces essential metabolites which are necessary for the plant growth and development, while the secondary metabolism produces specialized metabolites that are triggered by exposure to various stressors. These stress-induced metabolites are crucial for plants to adapt to harsh environmental conditions.
