The development of pan-genomics enables the identification and introduction of lost genes and alleles in crops, which can improve crop yield and resistance. This offers new avenues for targeted breeding and helps mitigate the impact of global climate change.
The availability of multiple sequenced genomes from a single species made it possible to explore intra- and inter-specific genomic comparisons at higher resolution and build clade-specific pan-genomes of several crops. The pan-genomes of crops constructed from various cultivars, accessions, landraces, and wild ancestral species represent a compendium of genes and structural variations and allow researchers to search for the novel genes and alleles that were inadvertently lost in domesticated crops during the historical process of crop domestication or in the process of extensive plant breeding. Fortunately, many valuable genes and alleles associated with desirable traits like disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance, plant architecture, and nutrition qualities exist in landraces, ancestral species, and crop wild relatives. The novel genes from the wild ancestors and landraces can be introduced back to high-yielding varieties of modern crops by implementing classical plant breeding, genomic selection, and transgenic/gene editing approaches. Thus, pan-genomic represents a great leap in plant research and offers new avenues for targeted breeding to mitigate the impact of global climate change. Here, we summarize the tools used for pan-genome assembly and annotations, web-portals hosting plant pan-genomes, etc. Furthermore, we highlight a few discoveries made in crops using the pan-genomic approach and future potential of this emerging field of study.
