Recent progress in the use of ‘omics technologies in brassicaceous vegetables

چکیده
Continuing advances in 'omics methodologies and instrumentation is enhancing the understanding of how plants cope with the dynamic nature of their growing environment. 'Omics platforms have been only recently extended to cover horticultural crop species. Many of the most widely cultivated vegetable crops belong to the genus Brassica: these include plants grown for their root (turnip, rutabaga/swede), their swollen stem base (kohlrabi), their leaves (cabbage, kale, pak choi) and their inflorescence (cauliflower, broccoli). Characterization at the genome, transcript, protein and metabolite levels has illustrated the complexity of the cellular response to a whole series of environmental stresses, including nutrient deficiency, pathogen attack, heavy metal toxicity, cold acclimation, and excessive and sub-optimal irradiation. This review covers recent applications of 'omics technologies to the brassicaceous vegetables, and discusses future scenarios in achieving improvements in crop end-use quality.

Completion of the human genome project revealed that the molecular mechanisms of cellular responses to different situations cannot be predicted from the sequence of their genes. Hence, most biological researches are focused on the roles of proteins which are much more challenging tasks. Omics technologies, instead of analyzing individual components of an organism by conventional biochemical met...
