520 _aPlant genomics research had its beginning in December 2000, with the publication of the whole genome sequence of the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana. Rapid progress has since been made in this area. The significant developments include the publication of a high-quality rice genome sequence in August 2005, draft genome of poplar in September 2006, whole genome sequence of two grapevine genotypes in 2007, and that of transgenic papaya in 2008. Draft sequences of corn gene-space and those of the genomes of Lotus japonicus and Glycine max have also become available in 2008. Genomes of several other plant species e.g., Sorghum bicolor, Manihot esculenta (cassava), barley, wheat, potato, cotton, tomato, maize, Brachypodium distachyon (a small model grass genome), Medicago truncatula, (shepherd's purse, peach) are also currently being sequenced. Multinational genome projects on Brassica and Solanaceous genomes are also in progress. In still other cases (e.g., wheat, corn, barley), where the large genome size prohibits whole genome sequencing, the gene rich regions (GRRs) of the genomes are being identified to bring down the sequencing work to a manageable level. The 10-year-old US National Plant Genome Initiative (NPGI) also made a call for more plant genomes to be sequenced. While making a choice for additional plant genomes to be sequenced, it has also been emphasized that much of plant diversity is available in tropical plants so that during the next decade, more genomes from tropics (e.g., Carica, Saccharum, Psychoria, Opuntia) need to be sequenced.
