Chemotaxonomy

/ˌkiːmoʊtæksˈɑːnəmi/ noun

Definition

The classification and identification of organisms based on their chemical composition, metabolic products, or chemical characteristics rather than physical features alone.

Etymology

From chemo- 'chemical' + taxonomy (from Greek taxis 'arrangement' + nomos 'law'). The field developed in the mid-20th century as biochemistry advanced.

Kelly Says

This field transformed biology by showing that organisms can be related and identified through their biochemical recipes—two plants that look totally different might be close cousins chemically.
