About this Research Topic
We are delighted to present this Frontiers in Plant Science special issue, “Women in Plant Multi-omics 2023” series of article collections. This Research Topic is headlined by members of our Plant Science editorial board.
According to the UNESCO Science Report 2021, women remain a minority in the field of science with only 33% of researchers worldwide being women. Persistent biases and gender stereotypes discourage girls and women from entering science-related fields, particularly STEM research. UNESCO has emphasized that science and gender equality are essential for sustainable development. To achieve a more inclusive discipline and mindset, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women encouraged to pursue STEM careers. The International Day of Women and Girls in Science is celebrated by UNESCO on February 11th, 2023, and Frontiers in Plant Science is proud to offer this platform to highlight the work of women scientists across all fields of Plant Multi-omics.
The aim of this article collection is to provide insights into the multifaceted and multidisciplinary domain of plant omics. It seeks to present global perspectives on the topic and encourage women, minorities, and early-career researchers to contribute to this Research Topic.
Recently, broad sets of omics technologies have recently been rapidly developed, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, phenomics, and interactomics. The advancement of plant multi-omics reflects not only in the various omic techniques but more importantly in the integration of multiple omic techniques and their applications to enhance our understanding of plant biology. We particularly encourage research derived from the development or application of new omics technologies in plants, especially non-model or under-studied species, as well as new methods for omics big-data analysis, mining, and visualization.
The "Women in Plant Multi-omics" series of article collections welcomes research articles, reviews, and opinion pieces. The collection features perspectives of modern contributions, including but not limited to:
• Development of new omics technologies for all aspects of plant biology, welcomed algorithm and software
• Integration of multi-omics technologies providing novel insights into interesting biological questions of plant biology
• Comparative analysis of multi-omics and meta-analysis of plant omics datasets
Please note: We encourage submissions with female first or last authors, but submissions to this Research Topic are not limited to female researchers alone.
Comparative omic analyses that only report a collection of differentially expressed e.g., genes/metabolites/proteins, some validated by qPCR under different conditions or treatments, will not be considered for review. They can be considered if extended to provide meaningful insights into gene/protein function and/or the biology of the subject described.
