Indeed, humans have managed to forge a very Daejeon 34134, Korea strong bond with plants, one that is sustained from the [email protected] beginning to the end of a human life. Various research field have been a large number of developments and innovations in recent years, principally medicine and Deadline for manuscript agriculture. Among them, genome editing is one of the submissions: scientific platforms which is anticipated to redesign the 15 November 2021 fate of the world. Genome editing has not only led to breakthrough achievements in medicine, but it has also been involved in the development of agricultural crops. Naturally, not all plants have the same beneficial traits. For instance, plant with high importance potential secondary metabolites cannot generally withstand drought or salty conditions and vice versa. To compensate for this shortcoming, genome editing tool CRISPR/Cas9 has been used, playing a fundamental role in creating mutation(s) in a particular region of the plant genome, and thereby leading to gains or losses of certain functions in future generations. mdpi.com/si/63347 SpeciaIslsue IMPACT CITESCORE FACTOR 2.5 2.925 SCOPUS an Open Access Journal by MDPI Editor-in-Chief Message from the Editor-in-Chief Prof. Dr. Les Copeland Agriculture (ISSN 2077-0472) is an international, Sydney Institute of Agriculture, crossdisciplinary and scholarly open access journal on the School of Life and Environmental science and technology of crop and animal production, Sciences, The University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW 2006, and management of the natural resource base for Australia agricultural production.

National Plan Genome Initiative Five
NATIONAL PLANT GENOME INITIATIVE FIVE-YEAR PLAN: 2014–2018 PRODUCT OF THE National Science and Technology Council MAY 2014 EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT NATIONAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY COUNCIL WASHINGTON, D.C. 20502 May 16, 2014 Dear Colleagues: The enclosed report provides a five-year (2014-2018) plan for the National Plant Genome Initiative (NPGI). Implementation of this plan will build on significant advances made under the first three NPGI strategic plans. The NPGI will continue to advance the frontiers of plant science as wells as accelerate basic discovery and innovation related to economically important plants and processes that enable enhanced management of agriculture, natural resources, and the environment to meet the Nation’s needs. In developing this five-year plan, the Interagency Working Group on Plant Genomes (IWGPG) — a Working Group under the Life Sciences Subcommittee of the National Science and Technology Council’s Committee on Science — received input from a diverse set of stakeholders and many sectors of the scientific community, including the National Academy of Sciences, as well as industry, professional societies and producer/grower organizations. Great progress has been made in the past sixteen years in the domain of plant genomics, including with respect to increasing public access to relevant scientific information and data. Much more remains to be done, however, to capitalize on these previous advances and integrate them fully into the fabric of the national plant genomics infrastructure — including tools, people, and collaborative partnerships both domestically and internationally. In addition, it is critical to continue and accelerate research efforts in plant genomics in order to address the challenges brought about by the impacts of climate change and increasing demand for plant-based food, fuels, and materials.

Environmental Evidence
Modrzejewski et al. Environ Evid (2019) 8:27 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13750-019-0171-5 Environmental Evidence SYSTEMATIC MAP Open Access What is the available evidence for the range of applications of genome-editing as a new tool for plant trait modifcation and the potential occurrence of associated of-target efects: a systematic map Dominik Modrzejewski* , Frank Hartung, Thorben Sprink, Dörthe Krause, Christian Kohl and Ralf Wilhelm Abstract Background: Within the last decades, genome-editing techniques such as CRISPR/Cas, TALENs, Zinc-Finger Nucle- ases, Meganucleases, Oligonucleotide-Directed Mutagenesis and base editing have been developed enabling a precise modifcation of DNA sequences. Such techniques provide options for simple, time-saving and cost-efective applications compared to other breeding techniques and hence genome editing has already been promoted for a wide range of plant species. Although the application of genome-editing induces less unintended modifcations (of-targets) in the genome compared to classical mutagenesis techniques, of-target efects are a prominent point of criticism as they are supposed to cause unintended efects, e.g. genomic instability or cell death. To address these aspects, this map aims to answer the following question: What is the available evidence for the range of applications of genome-editing as a new tool for plant trait modifcation and the potential occurrence of associated of-target efects? This primary question will be considered by two secondary questions: One aims to overview the market-ori- ented traits being modifed by genome-editing in plants and the other explores the occurrence of of-target efects. Methods: A literature search in nine bibliographic databases, Google Scholar, and 47 web pages of companies and governmental agencies was conducted using predefned and tested search strings in English language.

Genome Size Diversity and Its Impact on the Evolution of Land Plants
G C A T T A C G G C A T genes Review Genome Size Diversity and Its Impact on the Evolution of Land Plants Jaume Pellicer * ID , Oriane Hidalgo, Steven Dodsworth and Ilia J. Leitch ID Department of Comparative Plant and Fungal Biology, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew TW9 3DS, UK; [email protected] (O.H.); [email protected] (S.D.); [email protected] (I.J.L.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-208-332-5337 Received: 10 January 2018; Accepted: 5 February 2018; Published: 14 February 2018 Abstract: Genome size is a biodiversity trait that shows staggering diversity across eukaryotes, varying over 64,000-fold. Of all major taxonomic groups, land plants stand out due to their staggering genome size diversity, ranging ca. 2400-fold. As our understanding of the implications and significance of this remarkable genome size diversity in land plants grows, it is becoming increasingly evident that this trait plays not only an important role in shaping the evolution of plant genomes, but also in influencing plant community assemblages at the ecosystem level. Recent advances and improvements in novel sequencing technologies, as well as analytical tools, make it possible to gain critical insights into the genomic and epigenetic mechanisms underpinning genome size changes. In this review we provide an overview of our current understanding of genome size diversity across the different land plant groups, its implications on the biology of the genome and what future directions need to be addressed to fill key knowledge gaps. Keywords: genome size; polyploidy; transposable elements; C-value; giant genome 1.

A Spruce Gene Map Infers Ancient Plant Genome Reshuffling and Subsequent Slow Evolution in the Gymnosperm Lineage Leading to Extant Conifers Pavy Et Al
A spruce gene map infers ancient plant genome reshuffling and subsequent slow evolution in the gymnosperm lineage leading to extant conifers Pavy et al. Pavy et al. BMC Biology 2012, 10:84 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7007/10/84 (26 October 2012) Pavy et al. BMC Biology 2012, 10:84 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7007/10/84 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access A spruce gene map infers ancient plant genome reshuffling and subsequent slow evolution in the gymnosperm lineage leading to extant conifers Nathalie Pavy1*, Betty Pelgas1,2, Jérôme Laroche3, Philippe Rigault1,4, Nathalie Isabel1,2 and Jean Bousquet1 Abstract Background: Seed plants are composed of angiosperms and gymnosperms, which diverged from each other around 300 million years ago. While much light has been shed on the mechanisms and rate of genome evolution in flowering plants, such knowledge remains conspicuously meagre for the gymnosperms. Conifers are key representatives of gymnosperms and the sheer size of their genomes represents a significant challenge for characterization, sequencing and assembling. Results: To gain insight into the macro-organisation and long-term evolution of the conifer genome, we developed a genetic map involving 1,801 spruce genes. We designed a statistical approach based on kernel density estimation to analyse gene density and identified seven gene-rich isochors. Groups of co-localizing genes were also found that were transcriptionally co-regulated, indicative of functional clusters. Phylogenetic analyses of 157 gene families for which at least two duplicates were mapped on the spruce genome indicated that ancient gene duplicates shared by angiosperms and gymnosperms outnumbered conifer-specific duplicates by a ratio of eight to one.
