This research demonstrates how glyphosate and sodium dodecyl sulfate reduce metabolite levels in beetroot, indicating environmental impact.
Environmental pollution, including herbicides such as glyphosate, remains a global problem. This publication describes research examining the effects of glyphosate and sodium dodecyl sulfate on the metabolome of beetroot. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with a quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QToF-MS) and laser ablation remote atmospheric pressure photoionization/chemical ionization mass spectrometry imaging (LARAPPI/CI-MSI) analyses were performed. The results, along with statistical analysis, revealed that glyphosate and sodium dodecyl sulfate cause lower concentrations of many metabolites in the plant. It was also demonstrated that roots exhibit greater metabolic changes than stems.
