Description In the current era, one of biggest challenges is to shorten the breeding cycle for rapid
generation of a new crop variety having high yield capacity, disease resistance, high
nutrient content, etc. Advances in the “-omics” technology have revolutionized the
discovery of genes and bio-molecules with remarkable precision, resulting in significant
development of plant-focused metabolic databases and resources. Metabolomics has
been widely used in several model plants and crop species to examine metabolic
drift and changes in metabolic composition during various developmental stages and
in response to stimuli. Over the last few decades, these efforts have resulted in
a significantly improved understanding of the metabolic pathways of plants through
identification of several unknown intermediates. This has assisted in developing several
new metabolically engineered important crops with desirable agronomic traits, and has
facilitated the de novo domestication of new crops for sustainable agriculture and food
security. In this review, we discuss how “omics” technologies, particularly metabolomics,
has enhanced our understanding of important traits and allowed speedy domestication
of novel crop plants.
