Sequenced plant genomes
This site attempts to track all plant genomes with published sequences, and at least some of the genomes currently in the process of being sequenced
Contents
Eudicots
The eudicots are the largest group of flowering plants on the planet.
Asterids
The asterids are a group of plants within the eudicots that include species like the solanacious vegetables (Tobacco, Tomato, Potato, and Eggplant) and the sunflowers.
- Tomato: The tomato genome project is not yet complete. The version of the genome currently loaded into CoGe is assembled into pseudomolecules[1] but does not contain [2]. Read more about the tomato genome here (add link to their page) or see it in GenomeView here.
- Potato: The potato genome project is not yet complete. Read more about the potato genome here (add link to their page) or see it in GenomeView here.
- Monkey Flower: The monkey flower/mimulus genome is not yet complete. The version of the genome currently loaded into CoGe is not assembled into pseudomolecules[3] but does contain genome models[2] Read more about the monkey flower genome here (add link to their page) or see it in GenomeView here.
Rosids
Grape
The genome sequence of the european grape (Vitis vinifera) was published by a group of French and Italian researchers in 2007. The variety of grape sequenced was the Pinot Noir.
Grape diverged early from the two main groups of species in the rosids (eurosids I and eurosids II) and has not experienced any whole genome duplications since that divergence making it an important outgroup for comparisons to other rosid species as well as providing a great resource for studying the ancient hexaploidy that preceeding the radiation of rosid species (and possibly the radiation of eudicot species).
The version of the grape genome in CoGe contains ~500 megabases of sequence and X annotated genes spread across 19 chromosomes.

Eurosids 1
Cucumber
The genome sequence of cucumber (Cucumis sativus) was published in late 2009. The genome was sequenced using a combination of Illumina short read sequencing (68.3x coverage) and Sanger sequencing (3.9x coverage). The cucumber genome is made up of seven chromosomes, but a large fraction of the published genome sequence is still in unordered contigs. The version of the cucumber genome in CoGe contains ~200 megabases of DNA sequence and X gene modelsCite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag plans to sequence the genomes of 1001 different varieties of Arabidopsis.
