Abstract excerpt
Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii var. motia) is a commercially important aromatic grass valued for its geraniol-rich essential oil. However, genetic improvement efforts have been constrained by the limited characterization of available germplasm. This study assessed the genetic diversity and population structure of 70 palmarosa genotypes utilizing ten quantitative traits and four molecular marker systems (SSR,...
