Abstract

The omic tools are being used for chancing the quality and nutritional composition of fruit, besides they also play a significant role in resistance breeding, shelf life enhancement and productivity. The use of genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics provide insights to the molecular mechanisms of flowering, fruit development, ripening, insect resistance, herbicides tolerance, etc. Genomics and ascompanying technologies enable systems biology approach toward deciphering complex interactions between genes, proteins and metabolites for resulting phenotype.
