Omics Approach to Manage Abiotic Stress in Cereals

Abstract

Rye, oat and barley are one of the most highly consumed cereals in the world after wheat and rice. Their demand in the food industries has enormously increased; however, despite high productivity, continuous supply as per the market demand is hard to achieve, mostly because of periodic crop losses occurring due to abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, heavy metal toxicity and non-uniform temperature. Generation of abiotic stress-tolerant crops is one of the most serious challenges that need to be addressed by the scientific communities. In this regard, efforts are being made to understand the stress tolerance mechanism, gene discovery and interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Several omics tools and approaches have recently been used for the development of stress-tolerant crops having better grain quality. Modern sequencing technologies have greatly accelerated the genomics and transcriptomics studies in the above-mentioned species. In contrast, limited efforts have been made in other omics branches like proteomics and metabolomics. Extensive cataloguing of omics resources has highlighted the need for integration of omics approaches for efficient utilization of resources and a better understanding of the molecular mechanism. The information provided in this chapter will be helpful to understand the plant responses and genetic regulatory networks involved in abiotic stress tolerance and efficient utilization of omics resources for improvement in performances of rye, oat and barley.
