New record of nuclear DNA amounts of some Zingiberaceae species from North east India

New record of nuclear DNA amounts of some Zingiberaceae species from North east India

Members of the family Zingiberaceae are important medicinal plants and have great economic significance. Some taxonomic issues are still pending within the family and the genome size estimates of many species are still very scarce. Therefore, studies concerning genome size can provide complementary...
