Sorghum is emerging as a model crop for functional genetics and genomics of tropical grasses with abundant uses, including food, feed, and fuel, among others. It is currently the fifth most significant primary cereal crop. Crops are subjected to various biotic and abiotic stresses, which negatively impact on agricultural production.

- Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) is a significant nut crop with limited genomic information, making genome surveys essential for understanding its structure and diversity.
- Recent research using next-generation sequencing revealed that the pistachio genome is approximately 600 Mb in size and highly heterozygous, with over 59,280 simple sequence repeat (SSR) motifs identified for characterizing genetic relationships among various pistachio cultivars and wild species.
- The findings from this genome survey will aid in future sequencing strategies and enhance efforts in germplasm characterization and genetic diversity analysis for improved cultivation and breeding.
