The Genus Syzygium
Syzygium is a well-known source of the globally traded clove as well as the widely cultivated jambolan, water apple, rose apple, wax apple, mountain apple, and several other underutilised species. These plants have multiple uses as edible fruits, medicine, spice, food colourants, and flavourings.
The Genus Syzygium: Syzygium cumini and Other Underutilised Species provides an updated, comprehensive account of S. cumini and other underutilised species from a multidisciplinary perspective.
This book covers all relevant aspects including the botany, systematics, phylogeny, life history, traditional medicinal uses, phytochemical constituents, pharmacology, pharmacopeia standards, horticulture, genetic resource conservation, biocontrol, and bioremediation values. It demonstrates how Syzygium cumini and other underutilised species hold great prospect for global pharmaceutical and horticultural trade.
The Genus Syzygium will serve as the standard reference for a broad range of researchers interested in the various uses of S. cumini and eight underutilised Indo-Malaysian and Australasian species of Syzygium.
