Abstract

The development of cutting-edge technologies dramatically accelerated the functional genomics and metabolomics to understanding plant physiology and genetics. However, advancements in next-generation sequencing have opened new perspectives of different omics approaches like transcriptomics, proteomics, and genomics. Among these, however, metabolomics has been well documented in crop sciences. Plants produced an array of secondary metabolites in a spatiotemporal manner which challenges the understanding of plant metabolic diversity and renders dissecting metabolic pathways. However, genomics provides the basis for metabolic diversity. In this chapter, we reviewed to date the role of plant metabolic research using genomics. We focus on approaches adapted in exploring genomic diversity and underlying features for sustainable agriculture. Hereby, we also summarize the current knowledge on the genomics and metabolomics underlying plant growth and development and responses to stress. We further focus on the contributions of metabolomics to practical applications in crop safety and quality assessment. We also summarize how the knowledge generated on metabolome and genomics has been used to develop metabolic engineering techniques in sustainable agriculture. Given this, we highlight the significance and future perspectives of plant metabolomics to accelerate plant breeding and crop selection.
