Preface Studies of the plant metabolome include the analysis of a wide range of chemical species with very diverse physico-chemical properties, and therefore, powerful analytical methodologies are required for the separation, characterization, and quantification of this vast compound diversity present in plant biological samples. Due to its high sensitivity, mass spectrometry (MS) is one main analytical technology driving plant metabolomics studies, typically coupled to liquid chromatography (LC-MS) and gas chromatography (GC-MS). However, currently, there is a
