Assessment of ethnobotanical uses, household, and regional genetic diversity of aroid species grown in northeastern India

Abstract: Aroids are an important group of indigenous tuber crops, grown widely for their leaves, petioles, stolons, corms, and cormels. A total of 53 genotypes were evaluated for their genetic diversity in northeastern region of India. At household level, a total of 16 landraces of Aroids were recorded having different ethnobotanical uses. Based on the population study under Jhum/Shifting farming, landrace Rengama was dominant in area with 47% of the total population followed by Tamachongkham and Tasakrek. However, Pug… Show more

“…Additionally, the leaves are dried and ground into a powder that can be used with wheat flour or as a food flavour. Since the leaves and corms contain high calcium oxalate content, they cannot be consumed directly, therefore, properly cooking them eliminates calcium oxalate, the acriditycausing component (Verma et al, 2023). In East Africa, the corms have traditionally been steamed and eaten as a snack alongside tea or a beverage (Akwee et al, 2015;Chivenge et al, 2015;Palapala and Akwee, 2016).…”
