Description |
Tree spices refer to spices originating from tree crops. Seventeen tree spices are grown in India, the commercially important ones being nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, cassia, allspice. cambogia, kokam, tamarind, pomegranate and curry leaf. Tree spices are a major source of flavoring and therapeutic agents. The variability available in these crops is limited and also many species are being endangered and hence conservation of the genetic variability is very important. Collection and conservation of the biodiversity in tree spices has been one of the major mandates of Indian Institute of Spices Research, Calicut and the . germplasm conservatories at IISR, Calicut consist of 1140 accessions of tree spices. This paper deals with the diversity of tree spices available in our country, their conservation and utilization for crop improvement. |
