Comparative genomics provides insights into the biogeographic and biochemical diversity of meliaceous species [PDF]

Nature Communications
Meliaceous plants such as Azadirachta indica (neem) and Melia azedarach (chinaberry) contain large amounts of limonoids with unique anti-insect activities. However, genes responsible for downstream modifications of limonoids are not well known.
