Genome
All the genetic material in the chromosomes of a particular organism. USDA's research agencies have a Plant Genome Mapping programme to identify, characterize, and map the position of agriculturally important genes on the chromosomes of plants grown as crops or trees in order to better use these genes for improving the characteristics of the plant (resistance to disease, higher yields, etc.) through breeding.
