Bioinformatics and systems biology focus on the application of computational tools and models to understand complex biological systems. This session delves into the use of bioinformatics for analyzing plant genomes, transcriptomes, and proteomes, as well as the integration of these data to study plant functions and interactions. Systems biology takes a holistic approach, aiming to model and predict plant responses to environmental changes, diseases, and other stress factors. These fields are crucial for advancing our understanding of plant biology and developing strategies for improving crop yield, resilience, and sustainability. By incorporating advanced computational techniques, researchers can uncover hidden patterns and provide insights into plant growth, development, and stress responses, offering new avenues for plant improvement and conservation.
