An article published this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) describes advances in plant genomics and lays out a roadmap for the daunting task of sequencing plant genomes worldwide
Nearly half a million species of green plants inhabit the planet today, and they play important roles in ecosystems, human health, and agriculture
However, our understanding of green plant genomes lags far behind other branches of the tree of life, such as vertebrates
Given the importance of plant genome sequencing, several botanists wrote the article titled "Green Plant Genomes: What We Know in an Era of Rapidly Expanding Opportunities"
This article is also one of ten in the PNAS special issue
The genome of every organism contains all the instructions needed to carry out the processes of life, so the genome is bound to be quite complex
Compared with other biological groups, whole-genome sequencing of plants is particularly difficult
In addition, the size of plant genomes spans a great deal
The authors propose a roadmap that will help the global scientific community leverage new partnerships to collect samples and leverage recent advances in software and technology to sequence and assemble highly complex plant genomes
