Since the review by Smith et al. (2005), there has been enormous progress in the development of molecular markers linked with traits of interest, evaluation of genetic diversity within Ananas, construction of genetic linkage maps and genome and transcriptome analyses. The near-complete genomes of the pineapple varieties ‘F-153’ and ‘MD-2’ and a wild pineapple relative, A. bracteatus, have been recently sequenced and annotated (Ming et al., 2015), providing the first example of a crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plant genome and shedding light on the evolution of a photosynthetic mechanism developed in response to water-limited environments. This information will be vital in the ongoing efforts to engineer drought tolerance in other crops.
