A Medicago truncatula Metabolite Atlas Enables the Visualization of Differential Accumulation of Metabolites in Root Tissues.

ABSTRACT: Plant roots are composed of many differentiated tissue types, with each tissue exhibiting differential quantitative and qualitative accumulation of metabolites. The large-scale nontargeted metabolite profiles of these differentiated tissues are complex, which complicates the interpretation and development of hypotheses relative to the biological roles of differentially localized metabolites. Thus, we created a data visualization tool to aid in the visualization and understanding of differential metabolite accumulations in Medicago truncatula roots. This was achieved through the development of the Medicago truncatula Metabolite Atlas based upon an adaptation of the Arabidopsis Electronic Fluorescent Pictograph (eFP) Browser. Medicago truncatula roots were dissected into border cells, root c
