  • More about Underutilised Crop Genomes

This book highlights the uses of underutilized crops, presenting the state-of-the-art genome sequencing for over 30 crops, including those previously classified as underutilized. It covers food and non-food crops, with draft and polished genomes available, providing insights into crop domestication and genetic variation. Even small sequencing projects can provide valuable data for gene discovery and molecular marker identification.

This book delves into the potential of underutilized crops, showcasing the cutting-edge advancements in genome sequencing for over 30 previously understudied and under-researched crops. In the face of a changing climate and the ever-increasing demand on land resources, it is an opportune moment to explore novel crops that possess remarkable biotic and abiotic tolerances, as well as a wealth of nutrients beneficial to consumers. While historically, only high-profile internationally recognized crops had their genomes sequenced, the current era has witnessed the sequencing of genomes for dozens of crops, including those previously classified as underutilized. This comprehensive book encompasses a wide range of food crops, including fruits, tubers, grasses, and legumes, as well as crops with non-food applications. Some of these crops have draft genomes, while others boast polished genomes achieved through extensive resequencing panels. Each chapter, authored by experts, delves into the available genome data, shedding light on crop domestication and genetic variation, while also providing insights into the current and future prospects of these crops. Furthermore, the book highlights how even small sequencing projects can yield draft genome sequences that are valuable for gene discovery, comparative genomics, and the identification of molecular markers for further understanding these underutilized crops.
