Some important and interesting topics in the newly emerging disciplines of Statistical genomics andbioinformatics have been discussed briefly in relation to plants with possible references to fruit crops. This paper is therefore divided into two parts relating to the two disciplines, respectively. In the first part, mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL), association mapping, mapping of gene expression transcripts (eQTL), marker-assisted selection, and a systems approach to quantitative genetics have been dealt with. In the second part, generation of databases, annotation, annotated sequence databases, and sequence similarity search have been described.
