The genomic revolution has led to dramatic increases in our understanding of plant biology in the past 10 years, especially in model plant species such as Arabidopsis . The technologies associated with this revolution, such as tilling, array mapping, and association mapping, will see widespread application to crop improvement in the near future. The genes for desirable traits identified through such efforts may be introgressed at an accelerated rate into elite germplasm by marker‐assisted breeding.
