Application of mass spectrometry imaging technology in medicinal plants research
Plants contain a wide range of metabolites with large quantities and different secondary metab-olites,which play an important role in disease treatment.As a drug research resource,more and more at-tention has been paid.Traditional analytical methods can only conduct qualitative and quantitative re-search on metabolites,and there is no direct means to study their spatial distribution.The emergence of mass spectrometry imaging technology provides a possibility for this.In this paper,the main mass spec-trometry imaging techniques used in the research of medicinal plants and their research achievements in the research of medicinal plant metabolites and medicinal plant stress defense are reviewed,and their ap-plication prospects in the research of medicinal plants are prospected.
