Plant pan-genomes, which aggregate genomic sequences and annotations from multiple individuals of a species, have emerged as transformative tools for understanding genetic diversity, adaptation, and evolutionary dynamics. Super-pan-genomes, extending across species boundaries, further enable comparative analyses of clades or genera, bridging breeding applications with evolutionary insights ( Shang et al., 2022; Li et al., 2023a). However, the absence of standardized practices for data generation, analysis, and sharing hinders reproducibility and interoperability. This white paper presents a harmonized framework developed by the ELIXIR E-PAN consortium, addressing nomenclature, quality control (QC), data formats, visualization, and community practices. By adopting these guidelines, researchers can enhance FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) compliance, foster collaboration, and accelerate translational applications in crop improvement and evolutionary biology.
