Plant resources of South-East Asia Plants yielding non-seed carbohydrates

---

This volume deals with the plants of South-East Asia that produce and store starch and/or sugar as a reserve food in organs other tha seeds, e.g. in tubers, corms, cormels, stolons, thickened roots, stems, trunks and fruits. Starches and sugars are the main source of food energy for humans and animals.rnMost of the crops dealt with in this volume are grown at subsistence level in the tropics. Athough many of them may potentially produce twice the amount of useful energy per unit of land and time than cereals, they have never received comparable scientific, industrial and commerial attention. This neglected group of crops deserves more attention to realize its full potensial.rnIn this volume 54 important crops (cultivated and wild) including sago palm, sugar palm, fishtail palm, sugar cane, yams, cassava, sweet potato, Irish potato, taro, arrowroot, yam bean, plantain and cooking banana, zedoary, chinese artichoke, are treated in 33 papers. Some 50 species of minor importance are described briefly and a further 100 species yielding non-seed carbohydrates as a by-product are listed. Hopefully, this volume will stimulate research on and development of this neglected group of tropical crops.
