Bioinformatics performs an important role in modern plant technology. As the amount of information develops significantly, there is a similar growth in the demand for resources and techniques in information management, visualization, incorporation, research, modelling, and forecast. At the same time, many scientists in biology are different with available bioinformatics methods, tools, and databases, which could lead to skipped possibilities or misinterpretation of the details. In this review, we explain some of the key ideas, techniques, software programs, and information source used in bioinformatics, with an focus on those appropriate to plant technology.
