Tapping zingiberaceae wilderness to mining plastome

Abstract

Zingiberaceae is an under utilized plant family because of difficulty in identification and due to overlapping morphology Further lack in documentation of medicinal values makes the members of its family as obscured target The present work describes the ethno medicinal values of Zingiberaceae and further utilizes the plastid genome for resolving phylogeny Identification and documentation of ethno medicinal values plays a pivotal role for screening and development of new bioactive molecules F
