“…Omics approaches are crucial for food and nutritional security by providing not only targeted analyses of biomolecules but also a better understanding of biological processes at the system level [ 27 , 156 , 158 , 167 ]. The application of omics technologies in the food and nutritional domains is referred to as “foodomics” [ 27 , 167 , 168 ]. Foodomics enables a better understanding of how food safety and security can be maintained while meeting human health requirements, particularly by studying food contaminants and toxicity to ensure a secure food supply chain [ 27 , 158 ].…”

“…Besides the study of mycotoxin-producing phytopathogenic fungi, metabolomics is useful for identifying fungal endophytes that produce bioactive compounds in a host-dependent manner [ 194 ]. In addition to the metabolomic study of interactions between phytopathogenic fungi and hosts, the impact of interacting fungi on the mineral and elemental composition of plants can be revealed by ionomics [ 167 , 195 ], notably, the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculation on the growth of maize under various environmental stressors [ 196 ].…”

Fungi play many roles in different ecosystems. The precise identification of fungi is important in different aspects. Historically, they were identified based on morphological characteristics, but technological advancements such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing now enable more accurate identification and taxonomy, and higher-level classifications. However, some species, referred to as “dark taxa”, lack distinct physical features that makes their identification challenging. High-throughput sequencing and metagenomics of environmental samples provide a solution to identifying new lineages of fungi. This paper discusses different approaches to taxonomy, including PCR amplification and sequencing of rDNA, multi-loci phylogenetic analyses, and the importance of various omics (large-scale molecular) techniques for understanding fungal applications. The use of proteomics, transcriptomics, metatranscriptomics, metabolomics, and interactomics provides a comprehensive understanding of fungi. These advanced technologies are critical for expanding the knowledge of the Kingdom of Fungi, including its impact on food safety and security, edible mushrooms foodomics, fungal secondary metabolites, mycotoxin-producing fungi, and biomedical and therapeutic applications, including antifungal drugs and drug resistance, and fungal omics data for novel drug development. The paper also highlights the importance of exploring fungi from extreme environments and understudied areas to identify novel lineages in the fungal dark taxa.

The global population's exponential growth poses a challenge, demanding innovative solutions for sustainable crop yield and nutritional enhancement. Nano-omics, rooted in nanotechnology, revolutionizes agriculture. Nanoparticles (NPs) penetrate plant tissues for precise nutrient delivery, catalyzing peroxidase and catalase synthesis. This scavenges reactive oxygen species, reducing lipid peroxidation, preserving cell membrane integrity, enhancing water and nutrient uptake, and stimulating carbohydrate partitioning. Omics techniques (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) explore molecular interactions. Genomic analysis reveals altered gene expression related to growth, yield, and stress response. Transcriptomic studies show modulation of transcription factors and pathways by nano-zymes. Proteomic investigations focus on protein profile changes induced by nano-zymes, deepening understanding of plant responses. It unveils the interplay between nano-zymes and plants, providing insights into mechanisms for augmented crop growth and nutritional enhancement.
