It particularly focuses on the tools and strategies employed in genome sequencing and analysis, public and private genomic resources and how all this information is leading to direct outcomes for plant breeders. The advent of affordable whole genome sequencing in combination with existing cereal functional genomics data has enabled the leveraging of the significant novel diversity available in sorghum, the genome of which was fully sequenced in 2009, providing an unmatched resource for the genetic improvement of sorghum and other grass species. Cultivated grain sorghum is a food and feed cereal crop adapted to hot and dry climates, and is a staple for 500 million of the world’s poorest people. Globally, sorghum is also an important source of animal feed and forage, an emerging biofuel crop and model for C4 grasses, particularly genetically complex sugarcane.Compendium of Plant Genomes,2199-4781Plant breedingPlant geneticsAgriculturePlant Breeding/Biotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24060Plant Genetics and Genomicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L32020Agriculturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006Plant breeding.Plant genetics.Agriculture.Plant Breeding/Biotechnology.Plant Genetics and Genomics.Agriculture.570Rakshit Sujayedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtWang Yi-Hongedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910160260903321The Sorghum Genome2512608UNINA
