What is Genetics and Genomics of the Triticeae (Plant Genetics and Genomics: Crops and Models, 7) about?

**Genetics and Genomics of Triticeae** Edited by Catherine Feuillet and Gary Muehlbauer Domestication of cereals in the Fertile Crescent 10,000 years ago ushered in the beginning of agriculture, and signified a remarkable breakthrough in the advancement of civilization. Today, the crops of the Triticeae tribe, wheat, barley, and rye, constitute over 50% of total crop production worldwide (http://www.fao.org/) and cereal seeds are one of the most important renewable resources for food, feed, and industrial raw materials. The economic importance of the Triticeae has triggered intense cytogenetic and genetic studies over the past few decades, and has resulted in a breadth of information and tools for developing wheat, barley, and rye varieties. Hampered by the size and complexity of their genomes, however, research regarding the genomics of the Triticeae has lagged behind. But, the recent convergence of several technology developments has enabled dramatic breakthroughs in genomic research and led to the development of a robust "Genomic toolbox." These new capabilities permit a better understanding of the biology of the Triticeae plants and support the improvement of agronomically impo
