In this article we will discuss about the significance of genomics in agriculture. The main goal of agriculture research is to improve of economically important crops like rice, wheat, corn, oilseeds and vegetables etc. For the production of high quality food in substantial quantity, the above goal can be accomplished by optimising plant growth overcoming abiotic and biotic stress. Therefore, [...]
The following points highlight the three main omic technologies in plant biotechnology. The technologies are: 1. Transcriptomics 2. Metabolomics 3. Phenomics. Technology # 1. Transcriptomics: Utility of microarray and sequence-based process to expression profiling fueled additional approach to current genomic data within bioinformatics. Microarray technology helps in gene expression analysis in many plant species. Sequence based methods have real potential [...]
