Description Sequencing and analysing of the Arabidopsis thaliana
genome, the first plant kingdom genome to be
unraveled, will always remain a scientific landmark.
International initiatives to sequence rice, the most
important cereal in Asia, are underway. However as
functional information piles up in Arabidopsis and rice,
researchers working in other crops will benefit from
this new knowledge and apply it to their studied plants
or crop species. The increasing role of public databases
of model organisms and bio-informatics in data mining,
presents a new opportunity as well as a challenge to
researchers to develop more focused molecular tools for
gene discovery and deployment. The work presented in
here describes how such an approach has benefited
sorghum, a rainfed semi-arid troprical cereal.
