.. journey southwest from Berlin to Golm, a small village near Potsdam, is a 90-minute train trip to the end of the world …

………. outside Potsdam the only view from the window is farmland stretching to the horizon, until an ultra-modern glass building looms out of the fog.

Thank You

Metabolomics

• The metabolome comprises all small molecules present in a given biological system

• Metabolomics aims at the quantitative determination of all small molecules

• The metabolome contains molecules hugely varying in three parameters : concentration, structure and chemical behaviour

Metabolic Profiling• allows a rapid and simple discrimination

between genotypes, developmental and environmental stages ( fingerprinting)

• allows functional analysis of genes with respect to their influence on metabolic composition

• is an indispensible level in systems approaches

• allows identification of biomarkers

Page 19: Max Planck Institute  of Molecular Plant Physiology

Why (Metabol)Omics?

• Growth and performance of any biological system are to a large extent (if not totally) driven by its metabolic activity

• Metabolites are the last level of the realization of genetic information

• This level is most near to the complex phenotype ( in a linear thinking which is of course not correct)

Page 20: Max Planck Institute  of Molecular Plant Physiology

Why (Metabol)Omics?

• Biosynthesis (and degradation) of metabolites is characterized by multiple chemical transformations

• A + B -> C + D

• This means that metabolism by principle represents a network

Page 21: Max Planck Institute  of Molecular Plant Physiology

Why (Metabol)Omics?

• Most phenotypes are due to both linear and epistatic contributions

• Genetic markers at first approximation can only represent linear contributions

• Metabolites due to their inherent network characteristic represent the action and interaction of many gene products

• They should thus have the potential to mirror also epistatic interactions

Page 22: Max Planck Institute  of Molecular Plant Physiology

Metabolomics and Diagnostics

• Prediction of plant biomass

• Discrimination of cancer vs non-cancer tissues

• Patient categorization (personalized medicine)

• Prediction of type 2 diabetes

• Metabolomics as a measure in wine production

Page 23: Max Planck Institute  of Molecular Plant Physiology

Biomass prediction of field grown corn plants

• 300 corn inbred lines representing 3 maturity groups were grown on two field sites

• Leaves from 10 plants of each genotype and plot were harvested four weeks after germination ( leaf size : approx. 5 cm)

• Metabolic profiles were run for each genotype

• Biomass and flowering time were modeled using the metabolite data following a random forest approach

Page 24: Max Planck Institute  of Molecular Plant Physiology

Discrimination of maturity groups in corn

Page 25: Max Planck Institute  of Molecular Plant Physiology

Metabolic profiles have a high diagnostic power for complex traits

such as flowering time and early and late biomass

Page 26: Max Planck Institute  of Molecular Plant Physiology

Division of the entire data set into a training set and a test set allows the prediction of biomass

The wine market is highly fragmented with respect to quality criteria and assurance

This leads to uncertainty concerning quality, origin, year and variety (authenticity)

The problem is rooted in the absence of any objective technology
