Cereals including rice, wheat and maize by far have provided most of the calories, protein, B-vitamins and minerals. They are the staple for more than 6.5 billion inhabitants around the world.
Legumes are the second most important food source after cereals and are considered as an alternative protein source of meat. They have higher protein content than most of the plant foods.
Global grain genomic research program (G3RP) aims at developing future environment-friendly crops with higher yield and nutrients by collecting and profiling all the genomic resources of cereals and legumes around the globe. To achieve this goal, G3RP is divided into several parts:
Action items:
Discover Wheat Biodiversity in Heirloom Varieties and Watkins Landrace Collection.

C4 photosynthesis is evolved from more than 61 independent origins in monocots and eudicots, which phenomenon is the opposite of the multiple independent losses hypothesis for nitrogen fixation clade
Phosphorus is one of the most important macronutrients for food production.
Nitrogen is the main nutrient element that restricts the growth of crops and is one of the indispensable components in the synthesis of amino acids and proteins.
