As more plant genome sequences become available, researchers are increasingly using comparative genomics to address some of the major questions in plant biology. Such questions include the evolution of photosynthesis and multicellularity, the developmental genetic changes responsible for alterations in body plan, and the origin of important plant innovations such as roots, leaves, and vascular tissue.
随着越来越多的植物基因组序列可供使用，研究人员越来越多地利用比较基因组学来解决植物生物学中的一些主要问题。这些问题包括光合作用和多细胞性的进化、负责身体结构改变的发育遗传变化，以及根、叶和维管组织等重要植物创新的起源。
