Genomics has emerged as a powerful tool for crop improvement [reviewed in [1, 2, 3]]. In particular, the development of high-throughput methods for genome analysis, such as DNA microarrays, serial analysis of gene expression, and massively parallel signature sequencing, have enabled the scientific community to unravel molecular mechanisms underlying plant phenotypic traits of economic importance. Functional genomics studies have ...
