Borevitz is in the Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Chicago, 1101 East 57th Street, Chicago, Illinois60637, USA. borevitz@uchicago.edu Plants generate an amazing variety of small molecules and are arguably nature's finest chemists. A new study identifies over 2,000 small molecule mass peaks in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and defines both the genetic diversity and genetic architecture controlling the production of these compounds.
