The document provides an introduction to the Coffea genus, which includes coffee plants. It discusses that the genus contains over 124 species and has significant genetic diversity. It notes that only two species, C. arabica and C. canephora, are widely cultivated for commercial coffee production. The document also summarizes the current status of coffee genomics research, including molecular markers that have been developed, genetic maps that have been created, analysis of genome sizes in different coffee species, and studies of chromosome organization.
