Abstract
A high-throughput elemental profiling method called ionomics is used to look at the molecular processes governing the makeup of nutrients, minerals, and trace elements in living organisms. Significant strides have been made in identifying the gene networks that govern the ionome since the ionomics concept was first introduced over 11 years ago. In this update, we provide a summary of the ionomics approach's ten-year progress, which includes studying natural ionomic variation and forward genetics-based gene identification. We also go over how ionomics might be used to study how ionomic alleles work ecologically in terms of environmental adaptation.
