Our agricultural systems are now in urgent need to secure food for a growing world
population. To meet this challenge, we need a better characterization of plant genetic and
phenotypic diversity. The combination of genomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics
enables a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying the complex architecture of
many phenotypic traits of agricultural relevance. We review the recent advances in plant
genomics to see how these can be integrated with broad molecular profiling approaches to …
