Curry tree, Murraya koenigii (L.) (Spreng): A review and future prospects using applications of next generation sequencing technology

Murraya koenigii is a multipotential medicinal plant. Almost each and every part of the plant has numerous medical applications. Thus, it can be considered as most suitable candidate for new drug discovery. The present review proposes very useful idea for developing significant amount of both genetic and genomic resource for M. koenigii. The transcript data which can be developed using these approaches can be used for both basic and applied aspects in M. koenigii genetics and breeding. Further, this will be helpful for the discovery and characterization of genes responsive to various medicinal values of the plants and can be further studied and validated. The present review is an attempt which will help to isolate the active principles, as well as to elucidate the role of various interacting phytocompounds which influence therapeutic potential and efficacy in vivo.
