Plant Synthetic Biology and Plant Transcriptome

Plant synthetic biology is the field of science that incorporates engineering principles with plant biology toward the design, production of new devices, traditional crop improvement and novel bioproduction in plants. The knowledge gained through Systems Biology research acts as a firm foundation for redesigning the gene pathways to accelerate the adaptation of plants to water-limited environments using plant synthetic biology techniques.

Plant Transcriptome is the set of all RNA molecules in one cell or a population of cells.  It differs from the exome in that it includes only those RNA molecules found in a specified cell population, and usually includes the amount of each RNA molecule in addition to the molecular identities.
