Abstract
The objective of this viewpoint article was to critically discuss uses or misuses of plant omical biotechnologies. Such technologies would become probiotics functioning towards improved plant health, or would become antibiotics suboptimizing modern plant production. The world plant science and industry is in great need of pragmatic omical biotechnologies to minimize challenges. Omical biotechnologies must not be utilized to further complicate the current complexities with outward goals. Plant science mentors must persistently educate the next plant scientists on such a critical issue. This is only way to make science solution.
Highlights
Omical biotechnologies utilized in plant sciences include mainly genomics, proteomics and metabolomics
Plant omics biotechnologies may serve as operational tools to gain insight into major current health problems in human ecology such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cancer, and nervous abnormalities
A notable example is plant microarray biotechnologies that could generate great amounts of overly detailed data on a simple matter at cellular and gene-protein-metabolom levels. Such massive datasets are rather toxic to functional plant biology where complex problems mostly require very simple and feasible solutions
Summary
Omical biotechnologies utilized in plant sciences include mainly genomics, proteomics and metabolomics. The omical biotechnologies may help deepen insights into lower plant cells and genes. Omical biotechnologies have been considered as increasingly important tools to search for prevention and treatment strategies for a variety of health issues in human as well as plants and animals [1]. The modern plant physiology and breeding provides opportunities to more efficiently manage crop production and human nutrition using well-managed omical biotechnologies.
