An important problem in low dimensional topology is to understand the properties of embedded or immersed surfaces in 4-dimensional manifolds. In this article, we estimate the lower genus bound of closed, connected, smoothly embedded, oriented surfaces in a smooth, closed, connected, oriented 4-manifold with the cohomology algebra of a rational or ruled surface. Our genus bound depends only on the cohomology algebra rather than on the geometric structure of the 4-manifold. It provides evidence for the genus minimizing property of rational and ruled surfaces.
