Abstract

Highlights: Advances in plant 'omics' enabled the quantitative monitoring of a variety of biological molecules at several cellular levels. Recent approaches to integrate multiple omics data in higher plants. Summarizes examples of integrative 'multi-omics' studies in plants. Valuable strategy for system-level understanding of plant systems. Abstract : The development of 'omics' technologies has progressed to address complex biological questions that underlie various plant functions thereby producing copious amounts of data. The need to assimilate large amounts of data into biologically meaningful interpretations has necessitated the development of statistical methods to integrate multidimensional information. Throughout this review, we provide examples of recent outcomes of 'omics' data integration together with an overview of available statistical methods and tools.
