The pangenome provides genomic variations in the cultivated gene pool for a given species. However, as the crop’s gene pool comprises many species, especially wild relatives with diverse genetic stock, here we suggest using accessions from all available species of a given genus for the development of a more comprehensive and complete pangenome, which we refer to as a super-pangenome. The super-pangenome provides a complete genomic variation repertoire of a genus and offers unprecedented opportunities for crop improvement. This opinion article focuses on recent developments in crop pangenomics, the need for a super-pangenome that should include wild species, and its application for crop improvement.

泛基因组为给定物种提供了栽培基因库中的基因组变异。但是，由于农作物的基因库包含许多物种，尤其是具有不同遗传种群的野生近缘种，因此我们建议使用给定属的所有可用物种的保藏物来开发更全面和完整的全基因组，我们将其称为超级基因组。 -pangenome。超全景基因组提供了完整的属基因组变异谱，为作物改良提供了前所未有的机会。这篇观点文章重点关注作物基因组学的最新进展，对应包括野生物种的超基因组的需求及其在作物改良中的应用。
