“…RNAs typically single-stranded, usually 20-24 nucleotides in length, play a crucial role in regulating gene expression in plants (Bhogireddy et al, 2021;Raza et al, 2023d;Islam et al, 2024). They modulate the expression of target genes by inhibiting translation or cleaving target transcripts (Bhogireddy et al, 2021;Jamla et al, 2021;Raza et al, 2023d).…”

“…microRNAs (miRNAs), a distinct class of small, non‐coding, regulatory RNAs typically single‐stranded, usually 20–24 nucleotides in length, play a crucial role in regulating gene expression in plants (Bhogireddy et al, 2021; Raza et al, 2023d; Islam et al, 2024). They modulate the expression of target genes by inhibiting translation or cleaving target transcripts (Bhogireddy et al, 2021; Jamla et al, 2021; Raza et al, 2023d). These small regulators control the regulatory network of numerous metabolic pathways in plants, influencing processes such as protein re‐folding, antioxidant machinery activation, photosystem efficiency, and reproductive events, facilitating plants to withstand HS and CS (Ding et al, 2020a; Das et al, 2021; Megha et al, 2018; Islam et al, 2024).…”

The adverse effects of mounting environmental challenges, including extreme temperatures, threaten the global food supply due to their impact on plant growth and productivity. Temperature extremes disrupt plant genetics, leading to significant growth issues and eventually damaging phenotypes. Plants have developed complex signaling networks to respond and tolerate temperature stimuli, including genetic, physiological, biochemical, and molecular adaptations. In recent decades, omics tools and other molecular strategies have rapidly advanced, offering crucial insights and a wealth of information about how plants respond and adapt to stress. This review explores the potential of an integrated omics‐driven approach to understanding how plants adapt and tolerate extreme temperatures. By leveraging cutting‐edge omics methods, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, miRNAomics, epigenomics, phenomics, and ionomics, alongside the power of machine learning and speed breeding data, we can revolutionize plant breeding practices. These advanced techniques offer a promising pathway to developing climate‐proof plant varieties that can withstand temperature fluctuations, addressing the increasing global demand for high‐quality food in the face of a changing climate.

“…miRNAomics miRNAs are tiny non-coding RNA species and key posttranscriptional regulators. They have also emerged as an important technique like other omics approaches to develop toxic metals/metalloids tolerant plants (Dubey et al, 2021;Jamla et al, 2021b). Some successful studies have been completed to identify metals/metalloids responsive miRNAs.…”

“…MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a group of single-stranded, non-coding micro RNAs, have been shown to regulate gene expression at a post-transcriptional level. Plants respond to stress (including toxic metals/metalloids) by triggering the miRNAs that work by cleaving or neutralizing the transcribed mRNA according to the plant needs under stressed conditions ( Dubey et al, 2021 ; Jamla et al, 2021b ).…”

Advances in “Omics” Approaches for Improving Toxic Metals/Metalloids Tolerance in Plants

Food safety has emerged as a high-urgency matter for sustainable agricultural production. Toxic metal contamination of soil and water significantly affects agricultural productivity, which is further aggravated by extreme anthropogenic activities and modern agricultural practices, leaving food safety and human health at risk. In addition to reducing crop production, increased metals/metalloids toxicity also disturbs plants’ demand and supply equilibrium. Counterbalancing toxic metals/metalloids toxicity demands a better understanding of the complex mechanisms at physiological, biochemical, molecular, cellular, and plant level that may result in increased crop productivity. Consequently, plants have established different internal defense mechanisms to cope with the adverse effects of toxic metals/metalloids. Nevertheless, these internal defense mechanisms are not adequate to overwhelm the metals/metalloids toxicity. Plants produce several secondary messengers to trigger cell signaling, activating the numerous transcriptional responses correlated with plant defense. Therefore, the recent advances in omics approaches such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, ionomics, miRNAomics, and phenomics have enabled the characterization of molecular regulators associated with toxic metal tolerance, which can be deployed for developing toxic metal tolerant plants. This review highlights various response strategies adopted by plants to tolerate toxic metals/metalloids toxicity, including physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses. A seven-(omics)-based design is summarized with scientific clues to reveal the stress-responsive genes, proteins, metabolites, miRNAs, trace elements, stress-inducible phenotypes, and metabolic pathways that could potentially help plants to cope up with metals/metalloids toxicity in the face of fluctuating environmental conditions. Finally, some bottlenecks and future directions have also been highlighted, which could enable sustainable agricultural production.

“…MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of tiny-non-coding RNAs formed from individual-strand hairpin RNA precursors. These miRNAs switch gene expression by attaching to corresponding sequences surrounded by target mRNAs (Jamla et al, 2021;Patil et al, 2021). Extensive progress has been put together in finding the targets of peanut miRNAs that contribute to various stresses and developmental activities (Zhao et al, 2010(Zhao et al, , 2015Chi et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2017;Figueredo et al, 2020;Tong et al, 2021).…”

Ascorbate peroxidase (APX), an important antioxidant enzyme, plays a significant role in ROS scavenging by catalyzing the decrease of hydrogen peroxide under various environmental stresses. Nevertheless, information about the APX gene family and their evolutionary and functional attributes in peanut (Arachis hypogea L.) was not reported. Therefore, a comprehensive genome-wide study was performed to discover the APX genes in cultivated peanut genome. This study identified 166 AhAPX genes in the peanut genome, classified into 11 main groups. The gene duplication analysis showed that AhAPX genes had experienced segmental duplications and purifying selection pressure. Gene structure and motif investigation indicated that most of the AhAPX genes exhibited a comparatively well-preserved exon-intron pattern and motif configuration contained by the identical group. We discovered five phytohormones-, six abiotic stress-, and five growth and development-related cis-elements in the promoter regions of AhAPX. Fourteen putative ah-miRNAs from 12 families were identified, targeting 33 AhAPX genes. Furthermore, we identified 3,257 transcription factors from 38 families (including AP2, ARF, B3, bHLH, bZIP, ERF, MYB, NAC, WRKY, etc.) in 162 AhAPX genes. Gene ontology and KEGG enrichment analysis confirm the role of AhAPX genes in oxidoreductase activity, catalytic activity, cell junction, cellular response to stimulus and detoxification, biosynthesis of metabolites, and phenylpropanoid metabolism. Based on transcriptome datasets, some genes such as AhAPX4/7/17/77/82/86/130/133 and AhAPX160 showed significantly higher expression in diverse tissues/organs, i.e., flower, leaf, stem, roots, peg, testa, and cotyledon. Likewise, only a few genes, including AhAPX4/17/19/55/59/82/101/102/137 and AhAPX140, were significantly upregulated under abiotic (drought and cold), and phytohormones (ethylene, abscisic acid, paclobutrazol, brassinolide, and salicylic acid) treatments. qRT-PCR-based expression profiling presented the parallel expression trends as generated from transcriptome datasets. Our discoveries gave new visions into the evolution of APX genes and provided a base for further functional examinations of the AhAPX genes in peanut breeding programs.
