Applications of Multi-Omics Technologies for Crop Improvement.

Multiple "omics" approaches have emerged as successful technologies for plant systems over the last few decades. Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have paved a way for a new generation of different omics, such as genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. However, metabolomics, ionomics, and phenomics have also been well-documented in crop science.

iTRAQ-based comparative proteomic analysis of two coconut varieties reveals aromatic coconut cold-sensitive in response to low temperature.

Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) is an important economic fruit and oil crop largely cultivated in humid and sub-humid tropical coastal zones worldwide. To date proteomic profile analysis of coconut under cold stress yet not been conducted.
