Below is the uncorrected machine-read text of this chapter, intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text of each book. Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.

B Publications in Genomics of the Top 40 Most-Cultivated Crops The 40 most-cultivated species were found by searching the Food and Agri- culture Organization of the United Nations’ FAOSTAT agricultural database of primary crops by area harvested. Model species are provided as references. For each species, the Web of Science, a database of about 8,700 journals, was queried for articles with the species name or common name in the title (ti=common name or ti=species name). The common name in plural and singular forms (for example, orange and oranges) and common names that can be compound words or two words (for example, chick pea and chickpea) were all used in the search. To nar- row down the list of articles to those relevant to genomics, only the articles that include either genomics, genomic, sequencing, or sequence as a topic are included (tc=genome or tc=genomics or tc=sequencing or tc=sequence). 129

Life on Earth would be impossible without plants. Humans rely on plants for most clothing, furniture, food, as well as for many pharmaceuticals and other products. Plant genome sciences are essential to understanding how plants function and how to develop desirable plant characteristics. For example, plant genomic science can contribute to the development of plants that are drought-resistant, those that require less fertilizer, and those that are optimized for conversion to fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel. The National Plant Genome Initiative (NPGI) is a unique, cross-agency funding enterprise that has been funding and coordinating plant genome research successfully for nine years. Research breakthroughs from NPGI and the National Science Foundation (NSF) Arabidopsis 2010 Project, such as how the plant immune system controls pathogen defense, demonstrate that the plant genome science community is vibrant and capable of driving technological advancement. This book from the National Research Council concludes that these programs should continue so that applied programs on agriculture, bioenergy, and others will always be built on a strong foundation of fundamental plant biology research.
