Variation in amine composition in plant species:How it integrates macroevolutionary and environmental signals
• Premise of the study: While plants show lineage‐specific differences in metabolite composition, plant metabolites are also known to vary in response to the environment. The extent to which these different determinants of metabolite composition are mutually independent and recognizable is unknown....
