The Agrochemicals Division cosponsored
the 13th International Union
of Pure and Applied Chemistry International Congress of Pesticide
Chemistry held as part of the 248th National Meeting and Exposition
of the American Chemical Society in San Francisco, CA, USA, August
10–14, 2014. The topic of the Congress was Crop, Environment,
and Public Health Protection; Technologies for a Changing World. Over
1000 delegates participated in the Congress with interactive scientific
programming in nine major topic areas including the challenges and
opportunities of agricultural biotechnology. Plenary speakers addressed
global issues related to the Congress theme prior to the daily technical
sessions. The plenary lecture addressing the challenges and opportunities
that omic technologies provide agricultural research is presented
here. The plenary lecture provided the diverse audience with information
on a complex subject to stimulate research ideas and provide a glimpse
of the impact of omics on agricultural research.

“…The model plants are species for which the whole genome sequence has been characterized; therefore, databases contain almost all their protein sequences, allowing a large-scale proteomic study [161]. For many other economically important species, such as maize, wheat, soybean, tomato, potato, banana, etc., several proteomic studies have been performed even if their genomes have not yet been fully sequenced, and their proteomes, largely due to the transfer of proteomics data obtained from model plants, are now available [165].

The qualitative and quantitative determination of proteins and peptides in raw or processed food is experiencing a growing interest and importance from both scientific and economic point of view. Proteomics and peptidomics are relatively new entries in the field of food security, safety and authenticity, and themselves can contribute to the emergence of new branches of the science of food, such as foodomics and the just born nutriomics, digestomics, and gut metagenomics/metaproteomics. Mass spectrometry, in combination with a wide variety of separation methods and bioinformatic tools, is the principal methodology for proteomics. Both the so-called “in-gel” and “gel-free shotgun” bottom-up approaches are widely used.\ud
Among the arguments described in this chapter there are: stress effects on gene expression, postharvest (plant) and postmortem (livestock) protein modification, food safety, quality and authentication, food processing and quality control, frauds discovery, food peptidomics and digestomics
“…We hope that, with time, the data sets for crop proteomics will strengthen further and that we will be able to see examples in which such proteomic-based knowledge is used directly for the improvement of the stress tolerance of a crop plant (Agrawal et al, 2012). …”
Section: Potential Of Proteomics As a Biotechnology Tool In Crop Imprmentioning
A sharp decline in the availability of arable land and sufficient supply of irrigation water along with a continuous steep increase in food demands have exerted a pressure on farmers to produce more with fewer resources. A viable solution to release this pressure is to speed up the plant breeding process by employing biotechnology in breeding programs. The majority of biotechnological applications rely on information generated from various -omic technologies. The latest outstanding improvements in proteomic platforms and many other but related advances in plant biotechnology techniques offer various new ways to encourage the usage of these technologies by plant scientists for crop improvement programs. A combinatorial approach of accelerated gene discovery through genomics, proteomics, and other associated -omic branches of biotechnology, as an applied approach, is proving to be an effective way to speed up the crop improvement programs worldwide. In the near future, swift improvements in -omic databases are becoming critical and demand immediate attention for the effective utilization of these techniques to produce next-generation crops for the progressive farmers. Here, we have reviewed the recent advances in proteomics, as tools of biotechnology, which are offering great promise and leading the path toward crop improvement for sustainable agriculture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
