The Development of Plant Genome Sequencing Technology and Its Conservation and Application in Endangered Gymnosperms

Abstract

Genome sequencing is widely recognized as a fundamental pillar in genetic research and legal studies of biological phenomena, providing essential insights for genetic investigations and legal analyses of biological events. The field of genome sequencing has experienced significant progress due to rapid improvements in scientific and technological developments. These advancements encompass not only significant improvements in the speed and quality of sequencing but also provide an unparalleled opportunity to explore the subtle complexities of genomes, particularly in the context of rare species. Such a wide range of possibilities has successfully supported the validation of plant gene functions and the refinement of precision breeding methodologies. This expanded scope now includes a comprehensive exploration of the current state and conservation efforts of gymnosperm gene sequencing, offering invaluable insights into their genomic landscapes. This comprehensive review elucidates the trajectory of development and the diverse applications of genome sequencing. It encompasses various domains, including crop breeding, responses to abiotic stress, species evolutionary dynamics, biodiversity, and the unique challenges faced in the conservation and utilization of gymnosperms. It highlights both ongoing challenges and the unveiling of forthcoming developmental trajectories.

Climate Change—The Rise of Climate-Resilient Crops

“…The development of sequencing technology is accompanied by progress in the design of algorithms and tools for processing the large data received. Although current reference genomes have gaps, such as at telomere sites and highly polymorphic regions, efforts are already being made to complete the information on this subject [ 58 , 70 , 71 ]. Along with the progress of sequencing technology and bioinformatics, crop population genomics is transforming from a single reference resequencing approach into a pangenome approach.…”
