Preface to the Series

Genome sequencing has emerged as the leading discipline in the plant sciences coinciding with the start of the new century. For much of the twentieth century, plant geneticists were only successful in delineating putative chromosomal location, function and changes in genes indirectly through the use of a number of ‘markers’ physically linked to them. These included visible or morphological, cyto
