Quantification of Genotypic and Chemotypic Diversity for Elite Clone Selection with High-quality Essential Oil Traits in Vetiver [Chrysopogon zizanioides (L.) Roberty]

Vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides (L.) Roberty (Poaceae) is a perennial herbaceous grass. It is cultivated for the production of high-value essential oil, which imparts a robust and persistent woody odor escorted with different undertones such as earthy, grapefruit-like, flowery, smoked, ambery, etc. The study aims to determine the genotypic and chemotypic diversity in twenty-three genetic stocks of vetiver. The nature, proportion and degree of...
