Summary

This Special Issue focuses on the application of multi-omics approaches in deciphering the mechanisms of plant acclimation to environmental stress. The scope includes the integration of transcriptomics, metabolomics, and proteomics; molecular responses to abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures; and the role of epigenetic modifications in stress memory and adaptation. We welcome original research and reviews that employ systems biology to unravel plant-environment interactions, with an emphasis on key regulatory pathways and candidate genes identified through multi-omics association analysis.

Integrating Multi-Omics Approaches to Develop High-Yielding and Heavy Metals Stress-Resilient Crops
Ibrahim Khan, Sajjad Asaf, Lubna, Sang-Mo Kang, In-Jung Lee
Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.95, No.8, 2026, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2026.086203

Abstract Recent efforts in crop improvement have increasingly focused on elucidating molecular-level regulatory mechanisms to develop high-yielding crops with enhanced tolerance to heavy metals (HMs) stress. Omics approaches, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, ionomics, and phenomics, provide comprehensive analyses of plant responses to HMs stress. Genomics identifies stress-responsive genes, transcriptomics reveals dynamic changes in gene expression, proteomics evaluates protein abundance and post-translational modifications, and metabolomics characterize stress-related metabolites. Ionomics elucidates essential mineral dynamics involved in detoxification, while phenomics integrate high-throughput imaging with breeding techniques to evaluate stress resilience. Integration of multi-omics approaches provides a systems-level understanding… More >

Nuclear Test Sites as Natural Experiments: Conceptual Perspectives on Plant Evolution from the New Mexico Desert
Gian Marco Ludovici, Paola Amelia Tassi, Alba Iannotti, Colomba Russo, Francesco Gargallo di Castel Lentini, Timothy Alexander Mousseau, Andrea Malizia
Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.95, No.7, 2026, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2026.083056

Abstract The detonation of nuclear weapons, beginning with the Trinity test in New Mexico and followed by the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, created distinct environments of ionizing radiation exposure. While the ecological consequences of reactor accidents at Chernobyl and Fukushima have been extensively investigated, the potential evolutionary implications of historical weapons testing for plant communities remain comparatively underexplored, particularly in arid ecosystems. This review synthesizes available, yet fragmented, evidence to examine the hypothesis that residual radionuclides in arid test-site environments may have acted as potential selective pressures influencing plant persistence and stress-associated traits in native… More >

Multi-Omics Integration for Abiotic Stress Acclimation in Tropical and Underutilized Plants
Saqib Ali, Hoe-Han Goh
Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.95, No.6, 2026, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2026.084657
（This article belongs to the Special Issue: Multi-Omics Insights into Plant Acclimation to Environmental Stress)
Abstract Abiotic stresses particularly drought, salinity, and temperature extremes increasingly threaten crop stability in tropical environments where combinatorial stress events are intensifying under climate change. Despite growing omics capacity, current multi-omics syntheses of plant stress acclimation remain dominated by model species and major crops, leaving tropical and underutilized plants underrepresented in comparative stress biology. This review examines how transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, epigenomics, and integrative multi-omics frameworks have been applied to abiotic stress acclimation in selected tropical and underutilized plants, including banana, cassava, cacao, oil palm, papaya, Garcinia, coconut, mango, Avicennia marina, and tropical millets. We show that transcriptomics… More >
