Agricultural Genomics: An Approach to Plant Protection

European Journal of Plant Pathology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Genomics studies, focused on whole-genome analysis, have opened up a new era for biology in general, and for agriculture in particular. Along with the use of genetic plant models and the progress in sequencing agriculturally important organisms, the combination of bioinformatics and functional genomics globally enhances agricultural genomics. These studies are likely to pave the way towards better understanding of plant–pathogen biological networks, and eventually to lead to breakthroughs in the promotion of plant resistance to agricultural pests.
