Abstract

The success in complete sequencing of “small” genomes and development of new technologies that markedly speed up the cloning and sequencing processes open the way to intense development of plant genomics and complete sequencing of DNA of some species. It is assumed that success in plant genomics will result in revolutionary changes in biotechnology and plant breeding. However, the enormous size of genomes (tens of billions of base pairs), their extraordinary abundance of repetitive sequences, and allopolyploidy (the presence in a nucleus of several related but not identical genomes) force us to think that only few “basic” plant species will undergo complete sequencing, whereas genome investigations in other species will follow the principles of comparative genomics. By the present time, sequencing of the Arabidopsis genome (125 Mbp) is completed and that of the rice genome (about 430 Mbp) is close to its end. Studying the genomes of other plants, including economically valuable ones, already began on the basis of these works. The peculiarities of plant genomes make extraordinarily important our detailed knowledge on plant chromosomes which, in its turn, calls for expansion of research in this direction and development of new chromosome technologies, including the DNA-sparing methods of high-resolution banding.
