Abstract
In the 1980s, the first genes encoding plant enzymes were cloned and plant
genetic transformation was born. With the new century, knockout
technology was established and the Arabidopsis genome sequence was
published. In the last decade, the discipline of plant genomics has
expanded rapidly. These developments promised a quantum leap forward in
understanding plant biology. In some areas this has undoubtedly been the
case, but what about in metabolism and related physiology? This issue of
Current Opinion in Plant Biology presents a spectrum of topics from subcellular
to global levels. It aims to provide an update on some mainstream
topics and some that are less well known. It hopefully provides not only an
update, but also an opportunity to reflect on the achievements of the last
35 years and to anticipate the challenges and possibilities in the next 35 years
to 2050.
