Araceae tannia), "Typhonium trilobatum" and "Monstera deliciosa" (Mexican breadfruit). While the aroids are little traded, and overlooked by plant breeders to the extent that the Crop Trust calls them "orphan crops", they are widely grown and are important in subsistence agriculture and in local markets. The main food product is the corm, which is high in starch; leaves and flowers also find culinary use. List of foliage plant diseases (Araceae) Araceae The Araceae are a family of monocotyledonous flowering plants in which flowers are borne on a type of inflorescence called a spadix. The spadix is usually accompanied by, and sometimes
1000 Plant Genomes Project based on the expression level (how many mRNA molecules it produces). This means that highly expressed genes get better coverage because there is more sequence to work from. The result, then, is that some important genes may not be reliably detected by the project if they are expressed at a low level yet still have important biochemical functions. Many plant species (especially agriculturally manipulated ones) are known to have undergone large genome-wide changes through duplication of the whole genome. The rice and the wheat genomes, for example, can have 4-6 copies of whole genomes (wheat) whereas animals typically only have
