Integrated omics approach for developing toxic metals/metalloids tolerant plants. The use of multi-omics approach can help to reveal stress-responsive mechanisms at the genomic level, understand what is happening at the transcript and proteome level, provide clues about the interaction of metabolites with the phenotype, understand the role of different mineral elements, and unravel phenotypic changes in plants in response to toxic metals/metalloids toxicity. Integrating state-of-the-art omics approaches with speed breeding will help to meet the challenge of feeding a burgeoning human population.
