Popis: Advancement in plant biology using high-throughput molecular tools has offered several exciting opportunities to gain new insight towards mechanisms controlling growth and developmental processes. In the past few years, omics technology has shown tremendous potential in the field of plant tissue culture. This chapter focuses on the adoption of omics-based techniques such as genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics to stimulate research interest in model plants and agriculturally important crops through tissue culture. It provides information about new candidate genes which encode for signalling and regulatory proteins that control early embryogenesis and morphogenesis. Omics has given an alternative mean for tissue culture to characterize the genomic data for marker development related to somaclonal variants. The large amount of data generated using these tools provide a quantum increase in knowledge related to differentiation, redifferentiation, somaclonal variation and somatic embryogenesis and lay foundation for analysing tissue culture samples at cellular and molecular levels.
