Chemical imaging reveals diverse functions of tricarboxylic acid metabolites in root growth and development

Abstract Understanding how plants grow is critical for agriculture and fundamental for illuminating principles of multicellular development. Here, we apply desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging (DESI-MSI) to the chemical mapping of the developing maize root. This technique rev...
