Exploring Global Phytochemical Diversity in Salicaceae: Call for Collaboration on Metabolomics Project

12/19/2024

0 Comments

We are launching a new project focused on exploring global trends in phytochemical diversity. Our project aims to explore the fascinating diversity of plant metabolites by examining how various aspects of chemical diversity correlate with biotic and abiotic stress factors on a global scale. We are focusing on the Salicaceae family, which serves as a unique model system due to its widespread distribution across diverse environments.
