This book highlights the uses for underutilized crops, presenting
the state-of-the-art in terms of genome sequencing for over 30
crops, previously understudied and under-researched. In a changing
climate and with significant pressure on the land, it is the ideal
time to be discussing novel crops, with significant biotic and
abiotic tolerances and/or rich nutrient profiles for consumers.
Previously, the only species with sequenced genomes were
high-profile internationally recognized crops, but in the current
era genomes are being sequenced for dozens of crops, including
those previously classified as underutilized, now being
investigated. This book covers food crops, from fruits to tubers,
and from grasses to legumes, as well as crops with non-food
applications. Some of these crops have draft genomes, and others
have polished genomes with extensive resequencing panels. Each
chapter tells the story of an individual crop or crop group,
written by experts, focusing on the genome data available,
revealing more about crop domestication and genetic variation, and
the current and future prospects given that this data is now
becoming available. It also highlights how even small sequencing
projects can provide draft genome sequences suitable for gene
discovery, comparative genomics, and identification of molecular
markers for understanding these crops further.
