Comparative genomics across species explored the old and fixed genetic and phenotypic produced by species divergence in a long evolutionary journey, while population genetics utilize a historic, rich repository of diversity mostly produced via hybridization, introgression, or recombinations in the genetic background within a species. On the other hand, a trait is a complex phenomenon during plant growth and development, with dynamics in regulation of gene expression and epigenetics, where pan-omics, a combination of genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic technologies, have been widely applied in crop research. With the integration of diversity from different aspects, and with the development and application of many new omics technologies, such as metabolomics, metagenomics, epigenomics, epitranscriptomics, translatomics and phenomics, population genomics and pan-omics, particularly when they are combined, are becoming more powerful in trait dissection, gene discovery, and thus facilitate design future crops.
Omics approaches including comparative genomics have been proved to be powerful in gene discovery in various crops. Many new omics technologies have been developed in recent years and the application of them will certainly further our understanding of crops as well as accelerate the breeding programs. The goal of this Research Topic is to gather recent discoveries derived from the development or application of new omics technologies in crops as well as new methods for the analysis, mining, and visualization of crop omics datasets.
We welcome submissions of different types of manuscripts including original research papers, reviews, and methods, including but not limited to:
1) Development of new omics technologies
2) Application of multi-omics in crops
3) Meta-analysis and comparative analysis of crop omics datasets
4) Methods and tools for crop omics data analysis and visualization
5) Database and webserver of crop omics
