Abstract

Plants are biosystems, they made-up with cells, which are responsible for all biological actions as well as responding to their micro- and macro-environment. Therefore, environment has direct and indirect influence on plant growth and development. The global climatic changes have created many harmful effects on crop production systems. However, global population will increase by nine billions in 2050. As a result of that food production has to be increased by 70% than today because human and animals largely depend upon the plants derived foods. These goals can only be achieved through sustainable technological innovations to develop higher yielding, nutritionally rich crop cultivars with resistance to biotic and abiotic stress factors. In order to develop such resistance crop cultivars, proper understanding of systems biological approaches to find out genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics regulators, signal molecules, and their functional attributes within the cells is essential. Present findings of biological researches highlighted that introduction of novel omics technologies has contributed immensely to overcome the many bottle neck drawbacks in the field of crop improvement. This chapter will discuss the potential roles of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, proteogenomics, ionomics, bioinformatics, prime-omics, miRNA omics, and phenomics in plant stress management.
