Section is devoted to genomic and postgenomic approaches to analysis of structural and functional genome organization, integration of obtained knowledge into the system plant biology. Genetic models to solve the system biology problems will be discussed in the frames of this section. Particular emphasis will be placed on methods of bioinformatics analysis and de novo assembly of the sequenced plants’ genomes. The number of plants with available genome sequencing data has been significantly increased in recent years. The question is how successfully integrate these data into systems biology to understand the organization and functioning of plant genome, realized in development and environment interaction of the organism. The Application of systems biology techniques to address that question on plants, varying in genome size and ploidy will be considered at the section.
