Plants are quieter than people. They might flaunt pollen at a passing bee or exude fragrance, but except for flashy bloomers, most do little to attract attention. Perhaps it is fitting, then, that plant genome initiatives have kept a low profile relative to the human genome project. Yet the lack of fanfare does not stem – so to speak – from a lack of merit: These initiatives are transforming how biologists do plant science and expanding what they hope to accomplish.
