genome-sequencing

4 articles

Genome sequencing is the process of determining the complete DNA sequence of an organism, including chromosomal DNA as well as genetic material in organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts. In plant science, this technique provides a comprehensive blueprint of a plant's genetic makeup, enabling researchers to identify genes responsible for key traits like disease resistance, yield, and stress tolerance. These insights accelerate breeding programs and deepen our understanding of plant evolution and biodiversity.
