Genome sequencing status of threatened plants. A Map of threatened plants with sequenced genomes (red, orange, and yellow dots represent “critically endangered,” “endangered,” and “vulnerable” plants, respectively), and global regulatory status of genome-edited (GE) plants in indicated areas (adapted from [53]). SDN, site-directed nuclease; GMO, genetically modified organism. B Genome sequencing status of threatened plants. Total numbers of species (in blue) and numbers with sequenced genomes (in red) in three groups of threatened plants. C Increase in numbers of sequenced genomes of threatened plants with time between 2014 and 2022
