Wheat genome sequencing
 
Description The cultivated cereals, including rice,
maize, wheat, barley, rye, sorghum, oats
and millets cater about half of the calories and proteins to the world population
and are emerging purveyors of biofuel.
In addition to their economic signifi-
cance, cereals are a prominent choice for
comparative genomics as they comprise
important crops with diverse native
distribution and at least 35-fold variation
in genome size (e.g. rice = 420 Mb;
wheat = 16,000 Mb). Amongst cereals,
wheat (Triticum sp.) is the largest cultivated crop (210 million hectares (m ha))
produced in a broad-spectrum climatic
environments and geographic regions.
