Characterization of <i>Kaempferia galanga</i> L. diversity from Myanmar reveals links between morpho-anatomy, ploidy, chemotype and somatic embryogenesis
This study establishes the first integrative framework for identifying Myanmar K. galanga varieties and reveals clear genotype-specific responses in tissue culture. These findings provide a robust basis for varietal selection, herbal product authentication, and the development of scalable micropropagation systems for conservation and commercial use.
