Title Harvesting the Promising Fruits of Genomics: Applying
Genome Sequencing Technologies to Crop Breeding
 
Creator Varshney, R K

Subject Genetics and Genomics
 
Description Next generation sequencing
(NGS) technologies are
being used to generate whole
genome sequences for a wide
range of crop species. When combined
with precise phenotyping
methods, these technologies provide
a powerful and rapid tool for
identifying the genetic basis of
agriculturally important traits and
for predicting the breeding value of
individuals in a plant breeding
population. Here we summarize
current trends and future prospects
for utilizing NGS-based technologies
to develop crops with improved
trait performance and increase
the efficiency of modern
plant breeding. It is our hope that
the application of NGS technologies
to plant breeding will help us
to meet the challenge of feeding a
growing world population.
