Information from genome sequences is
essential to understand the organization
of genomes, chromosomes, genes, regulatory and repetitive elements present in
plant genomes and also to understand the
evolutionary significance of variations
observed in genome compositions. Understandably, the plant genome sequencing
effort has been growing in recent years,
since the plant genome organization is not
fully understood. The genome sequences
of Arabidopsis thaliana and rice have
been completed and a draft sequence of
the poplar genome (http://genome.jgi-
psf.org/Poptr1/Poptr1.home.html) has also
been completed.
