  "summary": "Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), the world's fourth most cultivated crop, suffers yield losses of up to 40-50% from early blight caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Alternaria solani. In this study we performed gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)-based untargeted metabolomics to characterize temporal alterations in metabolite composition, metabolic pathway regulation, and…",
