Abstract

In nature, plants are simultaneously exposed to number of biotic and abiotic stresses (BS and AbS), hence adversely affecting the overall plant growth and crop productivity. BS are easier to control unlike AbS are multigeneic and quantitative in nature. Thus, it is necessary to understand the molecular cross talks of environmental stress response and tolerance in plants. Therefore, for the improvement of crop plants, new methods and tools for genetic transformation is prerequisite. This could be addressed by ultrahigh-throughput computational biology. Especially, the advancement of constrains based omics approaches paves a way to characterize the plant cellular physiology under diverse AbS by publically available genomic, proteomic, ionomic, epigenomic, interactomic, metabolomic and phenomic data is used to increase agricultural crop productivity. Hence, is used to promote molecular based research in model plants as well as important crop plants. Further, the opinion will be useful for molecular biologist and plant physiologists to derive or design agronomically related strategies for the development of large spectrum AbS tolerant crops.
