Description The majority of the most economically important plant and crop species are enriched with
the availability of high-quality reference genome sequences forming the basis of gene discovery which
control the important biochemical pathways. The transcriptomics and proteomics resources have also
been made available for many of these plant species that intensify the understanding at expression
levels. However, still we lack integrated studies spanning genomics–transcriptomics–proteomics,
connected to metabolomics, the most complicated phase in phenotype expression. Nevertheless,
for the past few decades, emphasis has been more on metabolome which plays a crucial role in
defining the phenotype (trait) during crop improvement. The emergence of modern high throughput
metabolome analyzing platforms have accelerated the discovery of a wide variety of biochemical
types of metabolites and new pathways, also helped in improving the understanding of known
existing pathways. Pinpointing the causal gene(s) and elucidation of metabolic pathways are very
important for development of improved lines with high precision in crop breeding. Along with
other-omics sciences, metabolomics studies have helped in characterization and annotation of a
new gene(s) function. Hereby, we summarize several areas in the field of crop development where
metabolomics studies have made its remarkable impact. We also assess the recent research on
metabolomics, together with other omics, contributing toward genetic engineering to target traits
and key pathway(s).
