An Integration and Analysis Pipeline for Systems Biology in Crop Plant Metabolism

Abstract. To advance the comprehension of complex biological processes occurring in crop plants (e.g. for improvement of growth or yield) it is of high interest to reconstruct and analyse detailed metabolic models. Therefore, we established a pipeline combining software tools for (1) storage of metabolic pathway data and reconstruction of crop plant metabolic models, (2) simulation and analysis of stoichiometric and kinetic models and (3) visualisation of data generated with these models. The applicability of the approach is demonstrated by a case study of cereal seed metabolism.
