MWDB Major Upgrade: 20,000 plant metabolites MWDB (Metware Database) can now detect 20000 types of plant metabolites Since 2014, Metware Biotechnology has been pushing the boundaries of metabolite detection. Our featured product Widely-Targeted Metabolomics for Plants has been undergoing a major upgrade this year where our identifiable plant endogenous metabolites rose to 20,000, a doubling from our previous plant metabolite database of 10,000! Average identified metabolites: 1,300 widely targeted metabolite detection in real samples

to the detection of different species or tissue types, the average number of substances detected in a sample can be as much as 1300. Below, we present real outputs using Oryza sativa samples.

The data reveals that we can detect over 800 secondary metabolites and over 400 primary metabolites. Our observations here is in concordance with published literature where primary metabolites in plants are relatively conserved ranging around 1000 types, whereas secondary metabolites vary greatly between species and can range from 0.2 ~ 1 million. This is a significant improvement in identifying secondary metabolites in plants.

Analyzing the metabolomics database in various tissues, we find that flavonoids and phenolic acids stands out whereas other metabolites show large differences between
