ECONOMIC BOTANY (SRF)

Origin, evolution, botany, cultivation, genetic resource activities and utilization of genetic diversity
of important crops of cereals, millets, legumes, forage and fodder crops, medicinal and aromatic
plants, beverages, oil yielding plants, spices and condiments, wood and timber yielding taxa,
fumigatory and masticatory plants, vegetable crops, sugar, starch and cellulose yielding plants,
rubber yielding plants, insecticidal and herbicidal plants, fruits and nuts, flowering agents, gums and
resins, fiber yielding plants, under-utilized and under-exploited plants, new crops, pseudo-cereals,
important taxa in agro-forestry, horticulture and floriculture, processing and use of crop residues.
