Code:
$ perl -ane 'if(/^>/../\*$/){if(/^>/){$F[0]=~s/^>//;$f=$F[0]}open O,">>${f}.txt";print O $_;close I}' genomes.txt

Based on your input in post #3, this above one-liner will give you three txt files containing each containing information about a gene.

Code:
[root@hostname test]# ls -l
total 44
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  433 Dec 14 12:57 AFL2G_00003.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  477 Dec 14 12:57 AFL2G_00004.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  591 Dec 14 12:57 AFL2G_00005.txt
