“…The completion of the sequencing of the first plant genome, reported to have 25,498 genes in Arabidopsis Thaliana. This research work has opened the horizons in the genomic era in plant research (Jeanette and Emon, 2016). By adding a specific gene to a plant, or knocking down a gene with RNAi, the desirable phenotype can be produced in a precise way as compared to traditional breeding techniques (Jeanette and Emon, 2016).…”

“…Efforts addressed to the achievement of an appropriate knowledge of associated molecular information, such as the one arising from transcriptome and proteome sequencing, are also essential to better depict the gene content of a genome and its main functionalities. These efforts indeed led to major advancements in all biological sciences [4] and in agriculture as well [8,26]. Moreover, the elucidation of the complexity of genes and their networking is also fundamental for being eventually translated into breeding practice for crops or livestock, contributing to their health, resistance, and productivity.…”

Abstract:The key role of bioinformatics is acquiring striking importance in the era of outstanding advances in omics technologies for its fundamental support in describing the multifaceted aspects of biological functionalities. The manifold omics efforts flourishing worldwide are also contributing fundamental novelties in many aspects of agricultural sciences and, as a consequence, bioinformatics is acquiring a crucial role also in these research fields. Indeed, the transformation of natural environment for improvement of goods from animal, plants, and microbial worlds for human nutrition and health requires the comprehension of the molecular mechanisms influencing the structure and the function of the individuals, the populations, and the communities. The expanding knowledge about the molecules and the mechanisms associated with specific phenotypic traits and specific responses to biotic or abiotic stresses, complemented with the predictive power of bioinformatics, has an impact on agriculture practices and favors innovative methods in diagnostics, monitoring, and traceability, improving human benefits at lower costs, thus supporting sustainability. We here describe main bioinformatics approaches in the era of Next-Generation Sequencing for its impact in genomics, transcriptomics, and metagenomics efforts, describing their role in agriculture sciences. We aim to introduce common aspects, open questions and perspectives in this cutting-edge field of research.

“…Recent technological advances have seen the development of the “omics” technologies which are being applied in plant sciences to identify key proteins or metabolites, are novel covering metabolomics, proteomics and, genomics responsible for plants stress tolerance and also the genes regulating such biomolecules (Ahmad et al, 2013; Shelden et al, 2013; Srivastava et al, 2013; Emon, 2016). Application of these omics facilitates a direct observation of the agents affecting plant development.…”

Role of Proteomics in Crop Stress Tolerance

Plants often experience various biotic and abiotic stresses during their life cycle. The abiotic stresses include mainly drought, salt, temperature (low/high), flooding and nutritional deficiency/excess which hamper crop growth and yield to a great extent. In view of a projection 50% of the crop loss is attributable to abiotic stresses. However, abiotic stresses cause a myriad of changes in physiological, molecular and biochemical processes operating in plants. It is now widely reported that several proteins respond to these stresses at pre- and post-transcriptional and translational levels. By knowing the role of these stress inducible proteins, it would be easy to comprehensively expound the processes of stress tolerance in plants. The proteomics study offers a new approach to discover proteins and pathways associated with crop physiological and stress responses. Thus, studying the plants at proteomic levels could help understand the pathways involved in stress tolerance. Furthermore, improving the understanding of the identified key metabolic proteins involved in tolerance can be implemented into biotechnological applications, regarding recombinant/transgenic formation. Additionally, the investigation of identified metabolic processes ultimately supports the development of antistress strategies. In this review, we discussed the role of proteomics in crop stress tolerance. We also discussed different abiotic stresses and their effects on plants, particularly with reference to stress-induced expression of proteins, and how proteomics could act as vital biotechnological tools for improving stress tolerance in plants.
