Abstract

Next-generation sequencing methods are beginning to find their way into plant genetics, promising substantial improvements in crop yields over the coming decades. Three recent papers in Nature Genetics1, 2, 3 highlight this trend, which should enable crop breeders to more quickly identify the best germplasm for introgression into elite crop varieties. One of the studies1 describes the construction and use of a haplotype map for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in rice. In the other two studies, short sequencing reads are aligned to reference genomes to detect millions of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in soybean2 and maize3. Collectively, these reports underscore the potential of genome resequencing for identifying superior genetic variants to be used in crop breeding
