Sequencing for the cream of the crop

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 highlight this trend, which should enable crop breeders to more quickly identify the best germplasm for introgression...

Description
Summary: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 highlight this trend, which should enable crop breeders to more quickly identify the best germplasm for introgression into elite crop varieties.
