To gain a comprehensive and clear understanding of the variation patterns of metabolites in <i>P. palustre</i>, we employed the UPLC-MS platform along with widely targeted metabolomics techniques to analyze the metabolites in the stems and leaves of <i>P. palustre</i> at different stages. Our results revealed a total of 1228 detected metabolites, including 241 phenolic acids, 203 flavonoids, 152 lipids, 128 terpenes, 106 amino acids, 79 organic acids, 74 saccharides, 66 alkaloids, 44 lignans, etc. As the growth time increased, the differential metabolites (DAMs) mainly enriched in <i>P. palustre</i> leaves were terpenoids, phenolic acids, and lipids, while the DAMs primarily enriched in stems were teFrontiers in plant science1378881https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC11217517biostudies-literatureWidely targeted metabolomics reveals the phytoconstituent changes in <i>Platostoma palustre</i> leaves and stems at different growth stages.PMC11217517Huang SQuan CXu MChen ZWei FChen HTang DfalseWidely targeted metabolomics reveals the phytoconstituent changes in <i>Platostoma palustre</i> leaves and stems at different growth stages.<i>Platostoma palustre (Blume) A.
