Plant Omics: Trends and Applications

More about the book

To understand the organizational principles of cellular functions at various levels, an integrative approach utilizing large-scale experiments, known as ‘omics’ data—encompassing genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics—is essential. Omics focuses on the collective characterization and quantification of biological molecules that define the structure, function, and dynamics of organisms. It has become a crucial tool for deciphering the molecular systems governing diverse plant functions. Additionally, the development of omics resources in several plant species addresses their unique biological properties. The integration of knowledge from omics research is increasingly important as researchers aim to uncover significance, derive biological insights, and enhance translational research. This volume presents emerging aspects of plant systems research through omics and bioinformatics analyses, alongside their associated resources and technological advancements. It covers a broad spectrum of omics topics, discussing the latest trends and applications within plant sciences while highlighting practical solutions, unresolved issues, and future challenges in plant omics studies. This work aims to introduce readers to cutting-edge developments and trends in omics-driven research.
