Abstract: The article explores the botanical significance of avocado (Persea americana), one of the major fruit crops worldwide. The authors present summaries of existing genetic and genomic resources as well as molecular research avenues for this fruit crop. They also discuss the possibility of using avocado as a model for functional genetics in basal angiosperms and other related genomics studies.
