Multi-Omics Intervention In Dissecting Climate Resilient Traits In Pearl Millet (Pennisetum Glaucum (L.) R. Br.):  Current Progress And Future Prospects

Abiotic stress poses a major risk to plant growth and development under the current shifting climatic conditions, which can result in a 50% reduction in agricultural output. Heat, salinity, and drought are the three main environmental challenges that limit productivity. As pearl millet is a climate-resilient crop, it can benefit farming communities in arid places by increasing their income and food security while also reducing the negative effects of climate change. The lack of a wide variety of pearl millet genomic techniques has hindered researchers’ ability to however, because phenotypes differ greatly from genotypes, genomics is not able to provide answers to all of the problems. To close this knowledge gap, a complete understanding of transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and phenomics analysis is needed in addition to genomics. These areas can explain the intricate regulatory networks that underlie the drought, salinity, and heat stress responses in pearl millet.
