description: Here we propose a 5G breeding approach for bringing muchneeded  disruptive changes to crop improvement. These 5Gs  are Genome assembly, Germplasm characterization, Gene  function identification, Genomic breeding (GB), and Gene  editing (GE). In our view, it is important to have genome  assemblies available for each crop and a deep collection of  germplasm characterized at sequencing and agronomic levels  for identification of marker-trait associations and superior  haplotypes. Systems biology and sequencing-based mapping  approaches can be used to identify genes involved in pathways  leading to the expression of a trait, thereby providing diagnostic  markers for target traits. These genes, markers, haplotypes,  and genome-wide sequencing data may be utilized in GB and  GE methodologies in combination with a rapid cycle breeding  strategy.
