COVID-19 is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It has a disastrous effect on mankind due to the contagious and rapid nature of its spread. Although vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 have been successfully developed, the proven, effective, and specific therapeutic molecules are yet to be identified for the treatment. The repurposing of existing drugs and recognition of new medicines are continuously in progress. Efforts are being made to single out plant-based novel therapeutic compounds. As a result, some of these biomolecules are in their testing phase. During these efforts, the whole-genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 has given the direction to explore the omics systems and approaches to overcome this unprecedented health challenge globally. Genome, proteome, and metagenome sequence analyses have helped identify virus nature, thereby assisting in understanding the molecular mechanism, structural understanding, and disease propagation. The multi-omics approaches offer various tools and strategies for identifying potential therapeutic biomolecules for COVID-19 and exploring the plants producing biomolecules that can be used as biopharmaceutical products. This review explores the available multi-omics approaches and their scope to investigate the therapeutic promises of plant-based biomolecules in treating SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The world has faced several chronic diseases, a few epidemics, and pandemics that were disastrous and eliminated a predominant human population throughout history. Among all these, the presentday COVID-19 is potentially contagious and has left the most devastating effect on humankind Shahriar et al., 2021) . The virulent nature of COVID-19 and the rise of its different strains have forced researchers worldwide to search for rapid diagnostic methods for detection, development of new vaccines, various therapeutic drugs, and immunization options. Success has been achieved in developing different diagnosis methods, but no drug has been developed to efficiently provide treatment to the infected patient Lurie et al., 2020; Loeffelholz and Tang, 2020) .

Coronavirus belongs to the family Coronaviridae in the order Nidovirales. This group of viruses is classified into four genera such as Alpha coronavirus (α-CoV), Beta coronavirus (β-CoV), Gamma coronavirus (γ-CoV), and Delta coronavirus (δ-CoV) (Woo et al., 2010) . Both the alpha-and beta-coronaviruses tend to infect mammals. Among them, β-CoV has become the utmost concern of the world due to its ability to cause serious illness in the human population, like the Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (MERS-CoV), SARS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2, which cause fatal respiratory tract infection in humans (Lu et al., 2020) . The structural and nonstructural information of SARS-CoV-2 has already been explained and explored by many studies available in the literature (Hillen et al., 2020; Jin et al., 2020; Clark et al., 2021; Hasana et al., 2021; Semper et al., 2021) .

Although many vaccines such as Comirnaty (mRNA based), Moderna (mRNA based), AstraZeneca/Covishield (adenovirus vaccine), Sputnik V (nonreplicating viral vector), CoronaVac (inactivated vaccine), BBIBP-CorV (inactivated vaccine), EpiVacCorona (peptide vaccine), Convidicea (adenovirus type 5 vector-recombinant vaccine), and Covaxin (inactivated vaccine) have been approved in various countries, a specific approved drug for COVID-19 is still missing. The significant challenges in mass immunization include large-scale production, cost-effectiveness, and global allocation. Moreover, until the vaccination preferably drives herd immunity, social distancing is still the most effective measure adopted all over the world to prevent the spread of the disease (McKibbin and Fernando, 2020; Sohrabi et al., 2020) . Mostly, preexisting antiviral drugs are still being used in the management of SARS-CoV-2-infected patients. Simultaneously, the repurposing of drugs is also recommended for testing and application. Some preexisting antiviral drugs like remdesivir and lopinavir/ritonavir are currently being used in the management of COVID-19 (Kumar et al., 2020a; Choy et al., 2020; Wang et al., 2020f; Zhu et al., 2020) .

However, there is an urgent need to investigate and discover potential therapeutic compounds that could restrict viral replication and its assembly in the human body. Finding a permissive cell and delivering genetic information into its cytoplasm are essential steps for viral infection into the host cell. From a therapeutic point of view, there are at least two important ways. The first is that blocking viral entry stops infection early on and the second is preventing viral replication. The antiviral drugs can be developed by targeting different viral entry stages, either by blocking virus-specific interactions or by inhibiting conserved cellular mechanisms that viruses exploit to enter cells (Mazzon and Marsh, 2019) .

Advancements in biotechnology and computational analysis have taken place in the past decade, and they have provided massive amounts of new data that have given an optimistic outlook for intensifying disease treatment developments (Belfiore et al., 2020; Infusino et al., 2020; Stebbing et al., 2020) . Nearly every disease and clinical research area has exploded with enormous data . Computational analysis of the available diverse omics data could provide an in-depth understanding of molecular mechanisms and associated transitions of the diseases (Kumar et al., 2020b; Muthuramalingam et al., 2020; Su et al., 2020) . Clinical data management, genome and proteome analyses, nextgeneration sequencing data mining, machine learning, and deep learning algorithms have progressed significantly for mining patterns from such enormous data (Kumar et al., 2016; Kumar et al., 2018; Hossain et al., 2021; Overmyer et al., 2021) .

Omics represent the collective technologies that help to investigate the different molecules' roles and actions that make up an organism's cells. These include genomics (gene), transcriptomics (mRNA), proteomics (proteins), and metabolomics (metabolites). These techniques have already played a significant role in vaccine development and repurposing of drugs, as shown in Figure 1 . Omics technologies' main importance lies in detecting and verifying all gene products (transcripts, proteins, and metabolites) available in any given biological sample. Omics analysis has been extensively applied in drug discovery (Horgan and Kenny, 2011; Chen B. et al., 2020; Aaron et al., 2020) and estimation of their effectiveness and toxicity ( Figure 2 ). These are highthroughput technologies that have been significantly assisting in describing gene/protein expression profiles and their complex effects for SARS-CoV-2 (Wang et al., 2020a; Bojkova et al., 2020; Kim et al., 2020; Li et al., 2020) . With their immense possibilities, the powerful omics techniques seem like they will continue supporting researchers and healthcare professionals in exploring and exploiting SARS-CoV-2 pathophysiology for a deeper understanding of its processes and understanding the disease for diagnosis, screening, and prognosis (Wang et al., 2020b; Hart and Halden, 2020; Robson, 2020) .

The reports on the uses of preexisting drugs suggest that 3CLpro, Spike, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), PLpro, and human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (human ACE2) are potential drug targets for SARS-CoV-2 for further in vitro and in vivo studies .

Since ancient times, plant preparations have been utilized as herbal medicines, which probably also contain active antiviral extracts/compounds, to cure and control infectious diseases (Israt and Ahmet, 2020; Yang et al., 2020; Al-Ishaq et al., 2020) . Screening of plants to find the potential antiviral compounds was conducted long ago, during 1952. A total of 288 extracts from plant sources were experimented to check their role against the influenza A virus (Chantrill et al., 1952) . Thereafter, many scientists have worked on utilizing the potential of plant extracts with different viral diseases. Debiaggi et al. (1988) worked on the antiviral activity of Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (A. Murr bis) Parl. against herpes simplex virus type 2. Another study found that Geranium sanguineum L. has an antiviral activity for the influenza A virus. It was discovered that polyphenolic extract derived from Geranium sanguineum L. effectively inhibits the influenza virus's reproduction (Serkedjieva, 2003) . Medicinal plants contain a variety of secondary metabolites with the potential to inhibit viral proteins and their enzymes, which consequently stop/suppress the viral entry and replication into the host (Semple et al., 1998; Li and Peng, 2013; Arbab et al., 2017; Akram et al., 2018; Dhama et al., 2018) . Kotwal and coworkers studied the acidic extract of Trifolium species that showed an antiviral activity (broadspectrum) (Kotwal et al., 2005) . Several studies have been carried out, and they have confirmed that bioactive natural compounds are potential candidates for the treatment of (Behl et al., 2020; Kabir et al., 2020; Qamar et al., 2020; Kumar et al., 2021) .

These natural biomolecules are economical and deemed safe with minimum side effects compared to synthetic compounds (Enmozhi et al., 2020) . Although the use of natural biomolecules generally involves minimal or no side effects, sometimes, they can potentially be toxic. This may be due to misidentification of the biomolecules in the form that they are sold, wrong preparation, dispensing, or administration by inadequately trained personnel (Karimi et al., 2015) . Moreover, if a potential biomolecule could be found to regulate COVID-19 infection, it would be a boon in the treatment and could be used immediately after acquiring compulsory ethical clearances. Despite sufficient evidence that plant-derived biomolecules are effective as an antiviral agent, their use is still limited because these compounds are either available at minimal levels or might not be stable outside the plants (Anand et al., 2021; Balkrishna et al., 2021) . Therefore, a comprehensive strategy is needed to properly identify potential biomolecules' biosynthetic pathways and analyze the genes underlying those pathways . As the identification of plant-based moieties with anti-SARS-CoV-2 action is in a devolving phase, it will take a long time to explore their full potential using the traditional drug development method. The omics techniques used in plant molecular biology could accelerate this procedure using a strategically planned study design and provide a platform to researchers and the bio-manufacturer of these biomolecules to manage the COVID-19 pandemic (Sharma N. et al., 2020; Chojnacka et al., 2020) . This article has explored the plant-based compounds that contain antiviral activities to assess the impact of the multi-omics approach for plant biomolecular research and its potential application against SARS-CoV-2.

There is enough evidence that herbal medicines have been used in different parts of the world since prehistoric times. Asian countries like India, Japan, China, and Pakistan, and countries in Africa are using medicinal plants for herbal treatment. Herbal plants are supplemented with various phytochemicals like alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolic acids, lignins, and terpenoids.

All have shown their potential against infectious diseases Lalani and Poh, 2020) . It was demonstrated that biomolecules of plants exhibit inhibitory activity on hepatitis-B virus (Huang et al., 2006) , herpes simplex virus type-2 (Debiaggi et al., 1988) , human immunodeficiency viruses (Asres and Bucar, 2005; Lubbe et al., 2012) , dengue virus, rotavirus, Zika virus (Oliveira et al., 2017; Akram et al., 2018) , and SARS coronavirus Tsai et al., 2020; Yang et al., 2020) . Different computational studies on the antiviral promises of herbal plants indicated that secondary metabolites present in plant extracts could interact with different targets of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Table 1 summarizes some of the recently published plant-based secondary metabolites that have shown some therapeutic promises against SARS-CoV-2 in computational studies.

Due to homology in SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, the previous studies may also endorse the potential of naturally occurring compounds to inhibit SARS-CoV-2. Various studies are currently using traditional medicines and extracting their therapeutic potential against SARS-CoV-2 (Ang et al., 2020; Ren et al., 2020; Silveira et al., 2020) . A well-studied traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is reported to treat SARS-CoV and various other diseases (Tong et al., 2004; Cao et al., 2020; Huang et al., 2020; Zhang Q. et al., 2020; Zhang et al., 2021) . This medicine is also applied to treat the patients of SARS-CoV-2, with approximately 85% success . The plants used in TCM contain active biomolecules like flavonoids (herbacetin, isobavaschacone, rhoifolin, quercetin 3-b-D-glucoside, epigallocatechin gallate, and pectolinarin) that regulate virus accumulation by restricting the multiplication. In a recent report, Sehailia and Chemat (2020) studied the infection mechanism of SARS-CoV-2, compared it with that of plasmodium, and reported that each pathogen causes lung infection by crystallizing carbon dioxide. Based on this finding, artemisinin, isolated from Artemisia annua L., has been proposed to treat SARS-CoV-2-infected patients. Artemisinin is commonly used to treat malaria and against various viral infections like MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV (D'Alessandro et al., 2020; Hahn et al., 2018) . Collaborative research between the Max-Plank Research Center, Germany, and Mateon Therapeutics, California, is being performed using Artemisia annua L. to treat COVID-19-infected patients. This research is supported by the World Health Organization (WHO). 3-Chymotrypsin-like protease (3CLpro) is vital for replicating the virus, and thus represents a promising drug target for the development of therapeutic agents for SARS-CoV and other human coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2 . The following reports suggest that Chinese rhubarb extracts (Luo et al., 2009) , Houttuynia cordata (Lau et al., 2008; Fung et al., 2011) , flavonoids (Jo et al., 2019; Jo et al., 2020) , beta-sitosterol extracted from the root extract of Isatis indigotica, and herbal extracts of TCM could inhibit the enzymatic activity of SARS 3CLpro. Besides that, the flavonoids, namely, herbacetin, isobavaschalcone, quercetin 3β-D-glucoside, and helichrysetin, had shown their capability to block the enzymatic activity of MERS-CoV 3CL protease (Jo et al., 2019) . The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is a key enzyme responsible for both positive-and negative-strand RNA synthesis, and it is another potential target for a drug. It was reported by Fung et al. (2011) that the extracts of Kang Du Bu Fei Tang, Sinomenium acutum, Coriolus versicolor, and Ganoderma lucidum, inhibited SARS-CoV RdRp when tested in different doses (Fung et al., 2011) .

The applications of essential oils, extracted from various medicinal plants like Citrus spp, Mentha spp, ginger, Hyssopus officinalis L., Illicium spp, and Santalum spp with antiviral effects, have been well studied by numerous researchers (Li and Peng, 2013; Akram et al., 2018; Dhama et al., 2018; Wink 2020) . Ben-Shabat and coworkers reported that these essential oils alter the viral-envelope lipid-bilayer membrane's fluidity (Ben-Shabat et al., 2020) . In 2003, Schnitzler reported that monoterpenes, oxygenated sesquiterpenes, and phenylpropanoids of essential oils could disrupt the phospholipid bilayer membrane of human coronavirus that interferes with the envelope protein structure of the virus during infection (Schnitzler et al., 2008) .

A major study showed that eucalyptol (essential oil from gum trees, Eucalyptus spp.) is effective against SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses because its major component, eucalyptus oil, consists of ketone, ether, and hydroxyl groups that play a crucial role in the inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 (Sharma, 2020) . Another compound named jensenone, obtained from eucalyptus essential oil, has also shown antiviral potential to inhibit Mpro of COVID-19 .

Chloroquine is an alkaloid that is obtained from the cinchona tree's bark. It has DNA intercalating properties and is identified as a potential candidate for developing an effective drug for SARS-CoV-2 (Devaux et al., 2020) . Another alkaloid, Resochin, used in malaria treatment, has been thought to be an effective antiviral compound as it can interfere with the replication, transcription, and protein synthesis of viral RNA (Wink, 2020) . The isoquinolines, for example, palmatine and chelidonine, are also promising biomolecules that could be potential drug candidates against COVID-19 (Ho et al., 2019; Wink, 2020) . Kim et al. (2019) studied the important bis-benzylisoquinoline alkaloids extracted from Stephania tetrandra S. Moore and related species of Menispermaceae, such as cepharanthine (CEP), tetrandrine (TET), and fangchinoline (OFAN). They investigated the antiviral activity of these alkaloids against HCoV-OC43 in human coronavirus-infected MRC-5 human lung cells . The result showed that all three of these alkaloids could decrease the replication of HCoV-OC43 inside host cells. Apart from that, they also inhibited the viral spike and nucleocapsid protein expression.

Flavonoids, phenolic compounds, steroids, polyphenols, and terpenoids, and their derivatives are commonly found in secondary metabolites of plants and consist of aromatic rings with one or many hydroxyl groups (Vieira et al., 2010; Wink, 2020 ). Wink's study revealed that polyphenols could bind with the lipoprotein of the virus envelope that checks the viral invasion in host cells. Various other studies confirmed the antiviral activity of phenolic compounds like curcumin, catechin, bavachinin, gallate, silvestrol, and tomentin (Ryu et al., 2010; Khaerunnisa et al., 2020; Wink, 2020; Yang et al., 2020) . Besides phenolic compounds, flavonoids are also potential candidates against SARS 3CLpro enzymes of human coronavirus. Various antiviral studies on flavonoids have shown promising results ( Table 2) .

In recent research on biomolecules, Letko et al. (2020) reported that SARS-CoV-2 associates with host cells using angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2), that is, a host receptor. Therefore, plant-based biomolecules that can inhibit the interaction with this receptor could become an excellent pharmaceutical candidate to fight against SARS-CoV-2. For further analysis, molecular docking was performed with cannabinoids and different phytochemicals to establish these biomolecules' binding positions with viral spike protein (S) (Ho et al., 2007; Tallei et al., 2020) .

Before discussing the application of the multi-omics approach in the different research fields, it is essential to understand how all these technologies work individually and how information could be combined to generate a more in-depth understanding. Various methods can apply all the omics knowledge depending on the availability of data and requirements Zoppi et al., 2021) . The data available in the public domain related to all these omics technologies are extracted for complex analysis, and attempts are made to link all markers at the different levels (genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic) back to annotated genes ( Figure 4 ; Subramanian et al., 2020) . Usually, this method works appropriately because well-curated and interpreted databases with a complete description of genes and their biological

However, it is a big challenge to collect all the information separately and make a common analysis. Multi-omics data are usually not crossreferenced between repositories. A web application, that is, MOD-Finder, searches for multi-omics datasets related to a user-defined chemical of interest (Canzler et al., 2020) . The commonly used and readily available databases are the gene database of NCBI (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene), Gene Ontology (http://geneontology.org) (Carbon et al., 2019) , Ensembl (http://useast.ensembl.org) (Andrew et al., 2020) , KEGG (http://genome.jp/kegg/pathway.html), HMDB (http:// hmdb.ca/), MetaCyc (http://metacyc.org/), Wikipathways (http://wikipathways.org/index.php/WikiPathways), and DAVID (http://david.abcc.ncifcrf.gov/P). Extensive work is underway on the genome using its different aspects. The forecasting or designating genotypes that cannot be assayed directly in individuals' samples are known as genotype imputation (Ashburner et al., 2000; Naj, 2019; . In recent years, the studies on genome-wide association (GWA) have revealed many significantly replicated associations for various complicated diseases (McGuire et al., 2020) . In the analysis of GWA studies, genotype imputation has been widely used to enhance power, fine-map connections, and expedite the integration of results throughout the studies using metaanalysis. For genotype imputation, a resource like 1000 Genomes (http://www.1000genomes.org) (Marchini and Howie, 2010; Howie et al., 2011; Belsare et al., 2019) is available that facilitated combining various genotyping platforms and consequently enhanced the capability to interpret the genomics data and execute meta-analyses. Although some forms of data cannot be easily mapped to annotated genes, such limitations of annotation are addressed with the newest omics technologies.

Metabolomics is seen with considerable gaps in the annotation, restricting the efficacy of pathway-based and integrative method approaches (Kilk, 2020) . Metabolomic datasets are mostly deciphered in the form of metabolic pathways. The KEGG database consists of metabolic pathways and contains information about both enzymes and metabolites. This database is categorized into groups related to cellular processes, metabolism, human diseases, etc. (Kanehisa and Sato, 2020) . However, the annotated metabolites are very limited, suggesting that there is a lot to be learned regarding the role of several metabolites in human health.

Due to the availability and storage of the extensive amount of molecular data, an urgent demand has developed as a new branch of science: "system biology," which unravels the basic functional properties of living beings originating from the interaction of macromolecules (Zupanic et al., 2020) . The increased ability to elucidate genetic variations and their role in downstream molecular changes, like metabolite FIGURE 4 | Schema representing steps to discover therapeutics (plant-based biomolecules and vaccines) for COVID-19. The biomolecules/plant metabolites can be screened and tested following the mentioned steps for potential antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2. The figure also depicts the steps to develop vaccines by exploring the genetic material of the virus.

Frontiers in Pharmacology | www.frontiersin.org May 2021 | Volume 12 | Article 652335 8 levels, would play a crucial role in interpreting and combining various data types.

Multi-omics approaches can be used to identify and screen plant-based biomolecules. They also provide deep insights into the effect of these biomolecules on COVID-19. The addition of proteomic datasets to genomic and transcriptomic data helps to understand the role of plant-based biomolecules against COVID-19. The integration of proteomics data complements genomics in the identification of multiple pathways. As soon as any cell is given exposure to biomolecules, it triggers a series of effects at the regulatory pathway level, which involve changes of levels and interactions of different types of biomolecules. Transcriptomics can detect biomolecules of one type and can only capture changes in a small subset of the biological cascade.

How to employ multi-omics data for the study is solely dependent on integration strategies. Various methods are available for the integrative analysis of multi-omics data. This review focuses on implementing these approaches for screening potential therapeutic biomolecules, which can be efficiently used against COVID-19. The comprehensive reviews on multi-omics integration methods are provided by various researchers (Cavill et al., 2016; Huang et al., 2017; Tarazona et al., 2018; Subramanian et al., 2020) .

Plant biotechnology provides a comprehensive platform with several strategies to facilitate the synthesis of biomolecules on a large scale, viz. hairy root culture, cell suspension culture, etc. The advancement of genomics can accelerate the gene manipulation and pathway triggering the biosynthesis of therapeutically active compounds. Genetic manipulation of genes and genomes in plants can be achieved by various methods, including transformation (development of transgenic), inducible and transient expression systems, gene-silencing methodologies, knockout, knockdown, and the most advanced genome-editing (Wang et al., 2020c) . In pandemic situations, the best vaccine production method is transient expression because it is time-saving and could be advanced for largescale manufacturing. The most advanced next-generation sequencing offers detailed information about the genes and complete genomes, including the noncoding region and regulatory elements that facilitate the identification of genes associated with biomolecules' biosynthesis (Peška et al., 2017) . Gene cloning helps in the identification and molecular characterization of the genes that encode biomolecules. Furthermore, it can be transformed into a plant system for the expression and optimization of the product. For example, Nicotiana benthamiana Domin extends a systematic and effective system and is used to express VLP of SARS-CoV-2 to produce the plant-based vaccine (Rattanapisit et al., 2020) . This system could yield the required biomolecules that can be scaled up, isolated, and purified by downstream approaches (Sharma N. et al., 2020) .

The CRISPER/Cas9 (genome editing) approach facilitates accurate editing of genes (Dangi et al., 2019) . Specifically, this can be applied to knock out the enzymes that involve the target biomolecule as a precursor. It accelerates the processes with the overproduction of required metabolites. The higher level of biomolecule production and fine-tuning of biosynthetic machinery could be attained by using transient methods like virus-induced gene silencing or RNA interference. A genetic transformation like Agrobacterium-mediated transformation provides the stable and reliable change and expression of genes in the plants (Ma et al., 2020) . This method could easily be customized to develop target biomolecules in different plants, which can further undergo downstream processing and convenient purifications. Some of the useful phytochemicals are found in endangered species viz. Chinese medicinal plants Panax ginseng C. A. Mey. and Magnolia officinalis Rehder and E. H. Wilson, but their use in therapeutics is prohibited. Genetic manipulation and transformation methods offer model plant species as an alternative. The biosynthetic pathway can be studied and engineered into these, such as tomato, tobacco, rice, and maize. This has the advantage of producing beneficial compounds without putting any pressure on the original medicinal plant (Sassi et al., 2008; Moon et al., 2019) . An excellent example of the application of genomics and biotechnology is the saponin glycyrrhizin. It is a naturally occurring class of compounds and is reported to inhibit coronavirus replication, and its antiviral activity augments ten folds by modification in its glycosidic chain (Hoever et al., 2005) . The successful whole nucleic acid sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 from a different population of patients has given a new vision regarding the pathogen and its nonuniformity worldwide. As sequence data on the virus's proteomics and metabolomics are available, they could help study it more precisely (Gordon et al., 2020; Shen et al., 2020; .

Proteomics is the most powerful tool for studying total expressed proteins in an organism or cell type at a particular time. This provides the methodologies used for identification, detection, sample preparation, separation methods, and quantification of proteins. Proteins are responsible for the cells' function, and the expression, localization, and activity of proteins differ in various conditions. Hence, the study of protein expression in cell types or different conditions helps to identify and understand their biological information. All plant biomolecules derive from specific biosynthetic pathways. The comprehensive study of those pathways, starting from the analysis of the genes underlying them and biosynthetic enzymes and their regulation (Song et al., 2015) , is another challenging task that can be achieved by deploying different proteomics methods. Mass spectrometry (MS) is an important technique that enables the analysis of proteomes and identification of proteins present in the biological system. The separation of proteomes can be performed by gel chromatography or liquid chromatography before analysis. Production of allergens and toxins while deriving a specific plant biomolecule should also be monitored to check if any toxic byproduct is also produced. All such allergens and toxins are identified and systematized in www.allergenonline.org/ and www.allergen.org (Ahsan et al., 2016; Croote and Quake, 2016) . Identification of accurate therapeutic plant biomolecules is the critical and key step. Once they are identified, their interaction and effect on cells and cellular activities in another aspect of proteomics and proteomics research can help identify medicinal plant biomolecules.

Proteomics relates proteins' functional role to host and pathogen (Zheng and Perlman, 2018) . Zheng and Perlman (2018) studied proteomics' role in the host immune system and its responses to the respiratory virus interactions. Other researchers also studied G-protein-coupled receptors (Sriram and Insel, 2018) , enzymes (Ding et al., 2017) , and ion channels (Duncan et al., 2020) . Recently, various protein-based analyses of coronavirus have been done to identify structural proteins that include SDS-PAGE analysis, Western blot, protein categorization, protein identification, separation, and quantification. The proteome microarray of SARS-CoV-2 was demonstrated by Wang et al., which helps in mapping COVID-19 antibody interactions . A detailed report was given by Gordon et al. on the human protein-protein interaction map of SARS-CoV-2, where they defined 332 human protein-protein interactions, and out of them, 66 were targeted by several preexisting FDA-approved drugs or under trial drugs (Gordon et al., 2020) .

Transcriptomics studies primarily deal with gene expression profiles, that is, by RNA sequencing (Depledge et al., 2019) , ribosome profiling, and high-throughput DNA microarray studies (Wang et al., 2009) . Transcriptomics is an approach for exhaustive study and detection of RNA in the cell. In transcriptomics, a pathway response is mainly detected via a known set of target genes of the pathway expressed differentially. The information on association with a particular pathway is mainly available for protein-coding RNAs (mRNAs). Earlier, transcriptomics was dependent on microarrays as a measurement technique. Microarrays constitute a targeted detection approach; that is, they require prior selection and knowledge of the sequence of the interrogated RNAs. Recently, transcriptomics has switched to transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq), which provides a platform for simultaneous identification of transcripts, isoform detection, and quantification (Canzler et al., 2020) . The dose-response models were generated to determine the factors affecting gene expressions (Hashem et al., 2019) at various viral protein concentrations (Haas, 2020) . Studies were also conducted to check the concentration of mRNA at different infection stages and its propagation (Albarino et al., 2018) .

The metabolome is a collection of chemically highly heterogeneous molecules. It can be defined as the complete complement of all small molecule metabolites found in a specific cell, organ, or organism (Wishart, 2007) . Different metabolic enzymes run cellular metabolism (Ahmed et al., 2020) , and this is reported by a fierce study of genomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics (Fanos et al., 2020) . These are directly connected with pathways available in metabolomics (Haas et al., 2016) . The primary importance of metabolomics is related to diagnostics (Debnath et al., 2010; To et al., 2016) . The concentration of metabolites is observed and identified by high- performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (HPLC/ MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) (Peng and Liu, 2017) . The early studies concluded that metabolic profile analysis reveals the inactivation and binding of metabolites with the therapeutic compounds (Eisfeld et al., 2017) .

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the computational design, development, and application of computer programs and algorithms that perform cognitive functions based on human intelligence traits, for example, anticipating, problem-solving, and learning . AI techniques have the potential to accelerate the virtual screening, lead discovery and validation, etc. (Kumar et al., 2011; Kumar et al., 2017) , thereby assisting in drug design and repurposing, and they can complement the traditional drug development methods for COVID-19. AI technique-based Benevolent AI has been successfully applied to identify baricitinib as a potential drug against COVID-19 (Favalli et al., 2020; Randhawa et al., 2020) . PolypharmDB (Redka et al., 2020) and inclProject IDentif.AI (Abdulla et al., 2020) have already been successful in identifying potential drug candidates against SARS-Cov-2. A supervised learning-based Vaxign reverse vaccinologymachine learning platform has been developed for assisting the development of vaccine candidates against COVID-19 . Figure 5 summarizes the applications of biotechnology and multi-omics approaches for screening and profiling of plant-based biomolecules against SARS-CoV-2. Wang et al. (2020d) developed a deep learning and ontologybased side effect prediction framework to evaluate and assess traditional Chinese medicines against COVID-19 treatment. Moreover, AI techniques are efficiently applied in SARS-CoV-2 protein structure prediction Senior et al., 2020) . Apart from assisting the drug design, drug repurposing, and vaccine candidate development, AI has also been instrumental in spreading awareness, curbing misinformation (Hung et al., 2020; Miner et al., 2020; Rashid and Wang, 2020) , assisting in early diagnosis , and decreasing the burden in healthcare professions by providing accurate decision support (Iwendi et al., 2020) during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The present review gives an insight into the applicability of multiomics tools and different omics approaches in identifying potential therapeutic plant biomolecules. These tools could explore the immense potential of plant-based biomolecules for the prevention, mitigation, or cure of SARS-CoV-2-infected patients. There is a need to reduce the gaps between the conventional treatment from plant extracts and herbs with an updated understanding of biomolecules/phytochemicals present in plant extracts using omics technologies. Advancement in technology and discovery of different omics approaches to explore and analyze the genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data can generate the profile of plant biomolecules and identify the potential antiviral compounds that could be used against SARS-CoV-2.

Due to the highly contagious nature of SARS-CoV-2, handling of clinical samples in omics research facilities is often restricted. This has made the implementation of system-level molecular research extremely challenging. With this limitation, it is helpful for academicians, scientists, and health professionals from this field to be aware of the recent trends in omics approaches to address issues related to COVID-19. Various plant-based biomolecules have already been identified and studied at different levels of omics research. Now, screening those potential therapeutic compounds to treat SAR-CoV-2-infected patients and devising a relevant strategy to optimize the production and purification of those biomolecules using multi-omics approaches are the urgent needs of the situation. Multiomics techniques are anticipated to play a crucial role in the identification of potential therapeutic plant biomolecules and effective clinical management of COVID-19. Once these approaches have been applied successfully, the screened repository of plant-based therapeutic biomolecules could be used for future health emergencies like the emergence of a new strain or mutation in the virus. We hope that this document may help future researchers to quickly get an overview and understand the applications of omics approaches to find out therapeutically active plant-based biomolecules in infectious outbreaks or pandemics.
