Abstract excerpt
Global food security depends heavily on a few staple crops, while orphan crops, despite being less studied, offer the potential benefits of environmental adaptation and enhanced nutritional traits, especially in a changing climate. Major crops have benefited from genomics-based breeding, initially using single genomes and later pangenomes. Recent advances in DNA sequencing have enabled pangenome construction for...
