Omics databases for plant breeding

Omics databases in plant science: key to systems biology

Recently, high-throughput technologies for comprehensive genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic analyses have been developed. Large-scale ‘omics data’ obtained from such experimental methods have rapidly accumulated and been stored into web databases. In addition, the number of web databases for molecular biology has rapidly increased, since most new projects construct and maintain new web datab...

OMICS in Plant Disease Resistance.

The term OMICS, which look into the global profiling and analysis of various cellular molecules, has gained new heights with the advancement of next-generation sequencing and mass spectrometry technologies. It has broader implication in genetic improvement of crops for resistance against various diseases of economic significance. This focus issue entitled OMICS in Plant Disease Resistance highl...

Plant Abiotic Stress: ‘Omics’ Approach

Volume 1 • Issue 3 • 1000e108 J Plant Biochem Physiol ISSN: 2329-9029 JPBP, an open access journal Abiotic stress is the major threat towards the living world more precisely the plant kingdom whose development and productivity is negatively hampered. It is considered as the major cause behind plant damage and reduced crop yield [1]. Plants have developed several biochemical, physiological and m...

Plant Breeding and Genetics

Evolution of plant breeding

Plant breeding is considered one of the longest ongoing activities undertaken by humans, who select plants more productive and useful to themselves and the animals for at least 10,000 years ago. The evolution of civilizations paralleled the success of plant breeding, although this has not been recognized by the public. The reason may be lack of understanding of what plant breeding encompasses. ...
