Advances in our understanding of plant metabolism have underpinned many traits that improve plant productivity. To quantify, model, predict, and engineer desirable metabolic traits -- such as maximizing biomass production under suboptimal conditions or reallocating biomass from carbohydrates to lipids -- we must decode the complex metabolic networks. Subcellular compartmentalizing of metabolic reactions through the locations of enzymes is critical to understanding, modeling, and engineering plant metabolism. Our team will create a high-quality subcellular map of small molecule metabolism in Sorghum and Brachypodium.
