Abstract
Genomics of Major Crops and Model Plant Species
Highlights
The future plant genomics research will certainly derive benefit from the recent development of new-generation sequencing technologies
Plant genomics research had its beginning in December 2000, with the publication of the whole genome sequence of the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana
The non-Sanger technologies include both sequencing based on amplified DNA molecules, and those based on single DNA molecules including Helicos true single molecule sequencing technology commercially launched in 2008
Summary
Genomes of several other plant species (e.g., Sorghum bicolor, Manihot esculenta (cassava), barley, wheat, potato, cotton, tomato, maize, Brachypodium distachyon (a small model grass genome), Medicago truncatula, shepherd’s purse, peach) are currently being sequenced. The future plant genomics research will certainly derive benefit from the recent development of new-generation sequencing technologies.
