Forests of sal (genus Shorea)—a valuable timber tree that is also utilized to cultivate the lac insect, which produces the resin used to make shellac are found in Assam.
This plant genus is a valuable source of several different secondary metabolites/phytochemicals, such as flavonoids, acetophenones, phloroglucinols, pyrones, diterpenes and sesquiterpenes [ 5].
Genus Cymbopogon is a valuable medicinal and aromatic grass of the world.
The great expansion of horticultural interest in this genus has left a valuable foundation legacy upon which its development as a 'model' organism could be initiated.
Therefore, the genus Luciogobius offers a valuable future model system for studying vertebrate adaptation to interstitial life and adaptive radiation by fishes in an extraordinary habitat.
The ITS region was particularly informative in this genus, and can be a valuable tool for elucidating patterns of evolution and biodiversity in corals.
Strawberry is the familiar name of a valuable genus [ Fragaria spp. (Rosaceae)] comprising cultivated plants that produce popular and nutritious fruits, as well as wild plant species that populate many areas of the northern hemisphere and South America.
To our knowledge, this study is the first report on characterizing the complete transcriptome data in the genus Calotropis, serving as a valuable resource for novel gene discovery, molecular marker development and genetic improvement in practice.
The parasitoid wasp genus Nasonia has proven a valuable model system for studying complex genetic traits owing to its haplodiploid sex determination system and available genome sequences (Werren et al., 2010).
The Microbotryum genus has served as a valuable model for sexual reproduction because mating between haploid cells is a prerequisite for infection of the host plant (Day, 1979), and thus the sexual cycle must occur every generation (that is, every disease transmission).
