About this Research Topic
The incredible advances in biotechnologies have drastically increased our knowledge of omics approaches, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, epigenomics, phenomics, and metagenomics. These omics approaches have been greatly utilized to seek candidate genes for interesting traits, identify molecular mediators, uncover biological pathways, etc. They have great potential in studying Triticeae. We should also realize that integrating various multi-omics data can offer a more comprehensive and better understanding of the underlying pathway mechanisms at the multiscale. Many produced multi-omics data propose new challenges to integrate better, visualize, and interpret these data to dissect the underlying regulatory mechanism.
In this Research Topic aiming at the integration of omics data generated from different biological levels toward analyzing the underlying regulation mechanisms of complex traits, we are going to collate Original Research, Review, Methods, Mini Review, Perspective, and Opinion articles on integration and sharing of omics-construction platform, development of studying omics approaches or tools, and studies about traits, genes, proteins, metabolites, molecular interactions, and pathways in Triticeae using omics with an emphasize on transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics.
Potential areas in this Research Topic include, but are not limited to
• Omics-based identification and genetic dissection of candidate genes for traits related to yield, quality, biotic and abiotic stress resistance in Triticeae.
• Omics-based revelling molecular signatures, molecular regulation pathways, and molecular interactions
• Omics-based genetic dissection of traits related to yield, quality, biotic and abiotic stress resistance
• Integration of two or more omics data in complex traits
• Collection, integration, introduction, and sharing of omics-construction platform
• Development of omics related approaches or tools
Please note that studies falling into the categories below will not be considered for review unless they are expanded and provide insight into the biological system or process being studied:
i) Descriptive collection of transcripts, proteins or metabolites, including comparative sets as a result of different conditions or treatments;
ii) Descriptive studies that define gene families using basic phylogenetics and the assignment of cursory functional attributions (e.g. expression profiles, hormone or metabolites levels, promoter analysis, informatic parameters).
