Integration of metabolite with transcript and enzyme activity profiling during diurnal cycles in Arabidopsis rosettes. Genome Biol 7 (2006) R76. This work describes the integration of genome-wide transcript profiling, enzyme activity assays, and metabolite measurements in Arabidopsis. The authors argue that the changes in enzyme activity and metabolic levels are much smaller than those in transcription.

Systems approach identifies an organic nitrogen-responsive gene network that is regulated by the master clock control gene CCA1. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 105 (2008) 4939-4944. Using the combination of high-throughput expression profiling and systematic experimental design, based on combinatorial design, the authors suggest a candidate for an organic nitrogen-responsive transcription factor. This is the first report of the relationship between the regulation of circadian clock component CCA1 and nitrogen assimilatory genes.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 106 (2009) 10348-10353. This study highlights the potential of molecular phenotyping including metabolite profiling. By combining a species-wide analysis based on 94 Arabidopsis accessions with a multivariate regression approach, the authors found that starch content negatively correlates with leaf biomass. From the results of an integrative approach with transcript profiling and detailed genotyping of leaf samples, two candidate genes associated with increased biomass production were identified.

Integrated analysis of transcript, protein and metabolite data to study lignin biosynthesis in hybrid aspen. J Proteome Res 8 (2009) 199-210. This paper reports that, based on the O2PLS method, multivariate statistical modeling of systematic changes at different functional levels (transcripts, proteins, and metabolites) measured in parallel facilitates the interpretation of the results, indicating that this is the most promising approach for data integration. The possible implications of an integrated approach are also described.

Transcript profiling of an Arabidopsis PSEUDO RESPONSE REGULATOR arrhythmic triple mutant reveals a role for the circadian clock in cold stress response. Plant Cell Physiol 50 (2009) 447-462. This paper describes the phenotyping of arrhythmic plants, d975 - knockout of PSEUDO RESPONSE REGULATORS 9, 7, and 5, by using transcriptome analysis. The mutants exhibited significant cold tolerance because of the upregulation of cold-responsive transcription factor genes, for example Dehydration Responsive Element Binding protein 1 (DREB1)/C-repeat Binding Factor (CBF).

Impact of clock-associated Arabidopsis pseudo-response regulators in metabolic coordination. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 106 (2009) 7251-7256. This is the first report on the link between circadian clock and mitochondrial function in Arabidopsis. The authors demonstrated that arrhythmic plants lacking PRR 9, 7, and 5 can be characterized by increases of antioxidant, osmolytes, and intermediates associated with the TCA cycle. The approach used is based on combining GC-MS-based metabolite profiling and microarrays.
