That sounds a pretty formidable task, but if such is happening I would
hope that food plants and natural or wild plants are given equal
attention to floral and exotic. The Cruciferae family, particularly the
brassicaceae are long overdue for revision and re-classification IMHO.

Extensive sequencing of individual species mostly applies to crop plants
(e.g. rice, cotton), but also to thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana)
which is used as a model plant in the study of plant developmental
biology.

Beyond that there is a bias towards the wild relatives of crop plants
(e.g. plenty of sequences of wild cottons), and to recently described
species (presumably because the researchers have material to hand). In
several groups well known ornamentals are missing from the set of
species for which sequences are published (e.g. H. syriacus and H.
mutabilis in Hibiscus). Take a look at EMBL/DDBJ or Genbank.

PS: Cruciferae and Brassicaceae are one and the same, with
Capparaceae/Capparidaceae sunk therein in recent classifications.
