Over the past decade, genomics-assisted breeding (GAB) has been instrumental in
harnessing the potential of modern genome resources and characterizing and exploiting …

Multiple “omics” approaches have emerged as successful technologies for plant systems
over the last few decades. Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have paved a …

Plants are natural experts in organic synthesis, being able to generate large numbers of
specific metabolites with widely varying structures that help them adapt to variable survival …

Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is the sixth most important cereal crop after rice,
wheat, maize, barley and sorghum. It is widely grown on 30 million ha in the arid and semi …

Crop production systems need to expand their outputs sustainably to feed a burgeoning
human population. Advances in genome sequencing technologies combined with efficient …

Being rooted in place, plants are faced with the challenge of responding to unfavourable
local conditions. One such condition, heat stress, contributes massively to crop losses …

Across all facets of biology, the rapid progress in high-throughput data generation has
enabled us to perform multi-omics systems biology research. Transcriptomics, proteomics …

The importance of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) in securing food production for the
growing world population with minimal environmental cost has been increasingly …

The present day's ongoing global warming and climate change adversely affect plants
through imposing environmental (abiotic) stresses and disease pressure. The major abiotic …

Nitrification is the microbial conversion of reduced forms of nitrogen (N) to nitrate (NO3−),
and in fertilized soils it can lead to substantial N losses via NO3− leaching or nitrous oxide …
