A comprehensive experimental result will be obtained by a multi-analytical platform compared to a single method. We describe here the use of High Performance Liquid Chromatogram Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-MS) and Gas Chromatogram Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) through the analysis of poplar metabolites from wood forming tissue extracts. It was possible to identify and calculate the chemical composition and relative abundance of these compounds respectively. Comparison of compression wood and normal wood showed that each phenotype possesses a distinct metabolic profile. GC-MS results indicated that important substrate for cellulose synthesis is obviously lower in wood forming tissue of compression wood.
