Abstract
The ethnobotany genomics concept is founded on the idea of 'assemblage' of biodiversity knowledge. This includes a coming together of different ways of knowing and valorizing species variation in a novel approach seeking to add value to both traditional knowledge (TK) and scientific knowledge (SK). Ethnobotany genomics is defined as exploring the variation in genomic sequences from many species, and here we present some of our recent work that demonstrates the potential benefits of this approach for ethnobotanical research with economic implications. DNA barcoding was used to identify Acacia and nutmeg taxa that are economically important to society-at-large. Furthermore we identified considerable variation that is recognized by several indigenous cultures. The impacts of ethnobotany genomics will extend well beyond biodiversity science. Explorations of the genomic properties across the expanse of life are now possible using DNA barcoding to assemble sequence information for a standard portion of the genome from large assemblages of species. Perhaps the most important contribution is major barcode projects will leave an important legacy; a comprehensive repository of highquality DNA extracts that will facilitate future genomic investigations.
Highlights
Ethnobotany genomics is defined as exploring the organisms on the landscape
Ethnobotany genomics traditional taxonomists, who rely on fieldwork and is defined as exploring the variation in genomic morphological study as core aspects of their taxonomic sequences from many species, and here we present work, appear to be slowly going extinct (Grant, 2009), some of our recent work that demonstrates the potential global phenomena that is reaching all corners of the benefits of this approach for ethnobotanical research with globe including India and China
This study demonstrated that a two-gene approach utilizing a moderately variable region and a more variable region provides resolution among all the Compsonuera species sampled including the recently evolved C. sprucei and C. mexicana
Summary
Ethnobotany genomics is defined as exploring the organisms on the landscape. The motivation for this new variation in genomic sequences from many species, and approach is a quest to understand the diversity of life that here we present some of our recent work that surrounds us and how we can utilize such diversity to demonstrates the potential benefits of this approach for serve society-at-large with nutrition, medicine and more. DNA The problem is a taxonomic impediment to discovering barcoding was used to identify Acacia and nutmeg taxa the earth’s biodiversity. Perhaps the most important new lands and species were discovered, many of which contribution is major barcode projects will leave an had significant economic value.
