Abstract

Bioinformatics has the major role to play in decoding of the genomes of plants and animals. Bioinformatics is making progress in each and every field of life sciences, and similarly, the field of crop improvement has also been influenced by it. Bioinformatics allows capturing, managing, analyzing, and integrating the huge amount of metabolomics, genomics, and proteomics data enabling its efficient interpretation by the users. Bioinformatics makes available data and various tools to every individual, company, or industries so as to increase nutritional value and yield of crops. Detection of complex protein–protein interactions, modeling the protein structures, and unraveling the high-resolution genetic and physical network in plants can also be easily accomplished using in silico studies. This book chapter basically reviews the different role and applications of bioinformatics in plant breeding, gene network analysis, and molecular marker-assisted crop improvement techniques.
