Abstract

The integration of multi-omics approaches has revolutionized plant breeding and genetic improvement, offering new avenues for developing virus-resistant legumes. By combining genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, researchers can decipher the complex host-virus interactions, identify resistance-associated genes, and explore metabolic pathways involved in defense responses. Our study utilized whole-genome sequencing and trait mapping to pinpoint key resistance loci, while RNA-Seq analysis revealed differential gene expression patterns in resistant and susceptible genotypes. Proteomic profiling highlighted defense-related proteins, and metabolomic analysis identified unique biomarkers linked to viral resistance. The integration of these datasets provides a comprehensive understanding of resistance mechanisms, paving the way for molecular breeding strategies to develop resilient legume varieties.
