Metabolomic Studies in Almond

Metabolomics is an emerging field that measures all the metabolites present in a cell, tissue, or organ. From all the next-generation sequencing platforms, metabolomics is maybe the one that advances not as fast as wanted. This is because the number of compounds to be discovered is almost infinite. Plants, the best industry to fabricate chemical compounds, represent one of the systems where the discovery and identification of new metabolites are a real challenge. The last and current advances of metabolomics in almonds are shown in this chapter.
