3 Conclusion
FT-ICR MS has many applications within plant sciences. The major advantage for utilizing FT-ICR MS technology is the ability to monitor global system changes in a non-targeted manner. It is the non-targeted approach that allows the visualization of changes of both known and unknown or unexpected metabolites, allowing the researcher to then focus or target their research to a specific metabolite or group of metabolites. The examples highlighted in this chapter have shown, with the use of FT-ICRMS in a non-targeted approach, discoveries that may not have been possible or as easy to make with other metabolomic platforms.
