Comparative study of two Moringa species using Omics approaches

Abstract

Maximum 2048 characters: Moringaceae is a plant family with 13 species, two of which are native to India, Moringa oleifera Lam and Moringa concanensis Nimmo. M. oleifera has received more attention than the other members of this family, primarily because of the enormous health and nutritional benefits of this plant, as well as its ability to thrive in drought conditions. M. concanensis, a closely related species found in India, mainly in the Konkan region, has long been used as a medicinal plant, on the other hand, has received little attention in terms of sequencing and chemical identification. As a plant native to India, research on M. concanensis will aid in its preservation and will reveal the medicinal and nutritional benefits of various parts of the plant.
