TL;DR: The assembly of a high-quality, chromosome-scale reference genome sequence for quinoa was produced using single-molecule real-time sequencing in combination with optical, chromosomes-contact and genetic maps, which facilitated the identification of the transcription factor likely to control the production of anti-nutritional triterpenoid saponins found in quinoa seeds.

TL;DR: Specific emphasis is given to the key steps within the GC–MS workflow that those new to this field need to be aware of and the common pitfalls that should be looked out for when starting in this area.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that salt-induced oxidative damage to membrane lipids can be used as an indication of salt stress tolerance in barley roots under salinity stress is supported.

TL;DR: Recent advances in plant-based mass spectrometry imaging, general aspects of instrumentation, analytical approaches, sample preparation and the current trends in respective plant research are covered.

TL;DR: The evidence for postnatal stability of smoking-induced epigenetic change supports a role for epigenetics as a mediator of long-term effects of specific in utero exposures in humans.
