Abstract
BLand plants underpin civilization and planetary health, yet their genomic diversity remains largely uncharted. Current resources are unstandardized and scarce, lacking reference genomes for 95% of genera, 70% of families, and 51% of orders, impeding evolutionary and functional insight. We thus propose the PLANeT initiative, an international effort to generate high-quality, standardized genomes across the plant tree of life. Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with genomics, we will decode conserved principles to advance fundamental plant biology, biodiversity conservation, crop improvement, and natural product discovery. Engaging around 100 labs to train 1,000 scientists, we will tackle pivotal questions for a sustainable future.
