Abstract
Plant omics, which includes genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics and proteomics, has
played a remarkable role in the discovery of new genes and biomolecules that can be deployed for
crop improvement. In wheat, great insights have been gleaned from the utilization of diverse omics
approaches for both qualitative and quantitative traits. Especially, a combination of omics approaches
has led to significant advances in gene discovery and pathway investigations and in deciphering
the essential components of stress responses and yields. Recently, a Wheat Omics database has been
developed for wheat which could be used by scientists for further accelerating functional genomics
studies. In this review, we have discussed various omics technologies and platforms that have been
used in wheat to enhance the understanding of the stress biology of the crop and the molecular
mechanisms underlying stress tolerance.
