Phylogenetic analyse Japanese Cinnamomum species in the Nansei Islands
Plants of the genus Cinnamomum, globally important as spices and medicinal resources, have attracted substantial scientific and commercial attention. However, the Nansei Islands of Japan, located between the Pacific Ocean and the East China Sea, remain a notable gap in studies of this genus. In this project, we investigated four Cinnamomum species native to the Nansei Islands and examined their genetic relationships with related Asian taxa.
