enomics is opening up vast new areas of study and new opportunities for the world. Just as genomics, when applied to human life can lead to tremendous discoveries, so genomics can unlock secrets in all life forms, including agriculture. Researchers are only beginning to discover how plant genomics can play a significant role in enhancing the quality and quantity of agricultural production in order to feed more of the world’s population and to provide better nourishment where food is plentiful but so too are unhealthy food choices. Genomics is already promoting consistency and predictability to plant breeding. Plant genomics researchers are able to use genomic principles such as linking genes to traits that is taking the guess work out of agriculture and introducing more scientific certainty.
