Abstract
Abiotic stress can inflict limitations on plant growth, developmental processes and also crop productivity. Here we have portrayed advances in omics tools in the view of conservative and contemporary approaches that could be used to unravel abiotic stress tolerance in rice. Under stressful conditions, plants can develop diverse molecular mechanisms to combat stress challenges, while it is not sufficient to protect them. Hence, speculation of this study is essential for understanding how plants react to adverse environmental conditions with the hope of enhancing the tolerance of plants to abiotic stress. It could be addressed by computational biology (bioinformatics); invigorated sequencing approaches in genomics have paved the way for various analytical applications. Focusing on the technological advances, multiple new omics such as the transcriptome, metabolome, hormonome, epigenome, proteome and phenome have emerged. An emphasis was given to systems approaches with respect to abiotic stress. In addition, the availability of rice whole genome information, advancement and development of omics studies has improved to address the identification of unique and combined abiotic stress responsive cellular metabolisms and this enables the interaction between signalling pathways, molecular biological insights along with novel traits and their significance. Thus, this chapter provides the bioinformatics and systems biology aspects of abiotic stress responses by comparing it with the publically available omics and bioinformatics resources which could provide a base for detailed functional studies of stress tolerance in rice.
