This book describes the sequencing efforts for Neem (Azadirachta
indica A. Juss), one of the most versatile tropical evergreen tree
species. The neem tree is a source of various natural products,
including the potent biopesticide azadirachtin and limonoids, which
have a broad spectrum of activity against insect pests and
microbial pathogens. To identify genes and pathways in neem, three
neem genomes and several transcriptomes are studied using
next-generation sequencing technologies. Neem has been extensively
used in Ayurveda, Unani and homoeopathic medicine and is often
referred to as the 'village pharmacy' by natives due to its wealth
of medicinal properties. Besides the description of the genome,
this book discusses the neem microbiome and its role in the
production of neem metabolites like salanin, nimbin and
exopy-azadirachtin under in vitro conditions. It also highlights
cell and tissue culture using various neem explants including the
leaf, root, shoot, cambium, etc.
This book is the first comprehensive compilation describing the
importance of sandalwood in national and international markets,
genetic resources, molecular markers, whole genome sequencing, and
pathway genes involved in oil biosynthesis, aroma and fragrance.
Application of various "omics" approaches in delineating genome
architecture and annotation of genes is highlighted. This book
comprises 10 chapters covered over 200 pages authored by the
researchers involved in sandalwood genomics. The sandalwood,
Santalum album is known for its unique fragrance and finest wood
available for carving. Also, sandalwood is intertwined with Indian
culture and it is the second most valuable and expensive tree in
the world.
