a-MAIZE-ing: Sustainable Pest Control Investigated with SIRIUS

Agriculture has always been a dance with nature, requiring farmers to constantly adapt to changing conditions. One particularly promising method that has emerged over recent decades is push-pull technology, a strategy that uses nature’s own defenses to protect crops and boost yields. Using SIRIUS, researchers uncovered metabolites in push-pull maize that enhance its natural defense against pests.

A liverwort under stress: compound classification with CANOPUS 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. CANOPUS classified the affected compounds, and helped to map the biochemical pathways of the unique stress response of liverworts compared to vascular plants.
