Rhizosphere Dynamics: An OMICS Perspective

The interface between soil and root system of a plant is referred to as rhizosphere. A complex microbiome is present in the ecosystem of rhizosphere that produces different metabolites and proteins to enhance the growth and yield of different plant species. To understand the complexity of rhizosphere, different multi-OMICS techniques are being used in modern sciences. The success of rhizosphere science depends upon the successful implementation of multi-OMICS technique and use of robust bioinformatics software and databases which have been used to analyze the complex data. In this chapter, the recent advances, challenges, bioinformatics tools, and latest OMICS technologies to study the rhizosphere dynamics have been discussed.
