A liverwort under stress: compound classification with SIRIUS to detect metabolic shifts
Liverworts are chemically diverse plants with unique cell organelles responsible for the synthesis and storage of specialized metabolites. Untargeted metabolomics was used to analyze the metabolic stress response of liverworts without isolating individual metabolites. SIRIUS classified the affected compounds, and helped to map the biochemical pathways of the unique stress response of liverworts compared to vascular plants.
