摘要

Global food security depends heavily on a few staple crops, while orphan crops, despite being less studied, offer the potential benefits of environmental adaptation and enhanced nutritional traits, especially in a changing climate. Major crops have benefited from genomics-based breeding, initially using single genomes and later pangenomes. Recent advances in DNA sequencing have enabled pangenome construction for several orphan crops, offering a more comprehensive understanding of genetic diversity. Orphan crop research has now entered the pangenomics era and applying these pangenomes with advanced selection methods and genome editing technologies can transform these neglected species into crops of broader agricultural significance.
