Abstract :
The development of genomics technology has had a significant impact on plant biology research. Now that they have easy access to vast genomic data, plant scientists may examine plant high-density genetic diversity in great detail at the molecular level. Therefore, it is crucial for contemporary plant genome research to properly comprehend and be able to manipulate bioinformatics tools in order to handle and evaluate these data. Recently, numerous plant genome databases have been created and are still growing. In the meantime, numerous areas of plant genomic research, such as comparative genomic analysis, phylogenomics and evolutionary analysis, and genome-wide association studies, have developed analytical methodologies based on bioinformatics. The fundamental issue for plant genome research, however, is the ongoing updating of computing infrastructures, such as high capacity data storage and high performing analysis tools. The challenges and opportunities that bioinformatics knowledge and expertise can present to plant scientists in the current era of plant genomics as well as future aspects in dire need of efficient tools to facilitate the translation of knowledge from new sequencing data to enhancement of plant productivity are the main topics of this review paper.
