Abstract

Genomics platforms offer unprecedented opportunities to identify, select and in some cases clone the genes and the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that govern the tolerance of Triticeae to abiotic stresses and, consequently, grain yield. Transcriptome profiling and the other “omics” platforms provide further information to unravel gene functions and validate the role of candidate genes. This review provides a synopsis of the main results on the studies that have investigated the genomics of Triticeae crops under conditions of abiotic constraints. With their rich biodiversity and high functional plasticity in response to environmental stresses, Triticeae crops provide an ideal ground for taking full advantage of the opportunities offered by genomics approaches. Ultimately, the practical impact of the knowledge and materials generated through genomics-based approaches will depend on their integration and exploitation within the extant breeding programs.
