The Aroma of Gingers: Evolutionary and ecological significance of the plant volatilome in the medicinally important genus Hedychium
Project summary:
The proposed work investigates the volatile chemistry of genus Hedychium (Zingiberaceae), a group of flowering, understorey, perennial rhizomatous herbs endemic to the Asian palaeotropic region to understand their ecology, species coexistence and evolutionary diversification. The award will facilitate volatile collection from the wild gingers across India and further downstream analysis.
