“…This genus is located between southern Asia and the Pacific Rim O n l i n e F i r s t in the tropics and subtropics, and many species are arboreal in Africa, India, China, and Brazil, with widespread utility and economic value (Bahru and Ding, 2021;Pereira and Beraldo, 2007;Tewari et al, 2019;Wu et al, 2009). Due to its several applications, this plant also plays a significant financial and socioeconomic part in the lives of the locals in some Asian nations including China, India, Japan, and the countries of Southeast Asia, especially in rural regions (Cho et al, 2011;Khairi et al, 2020;Ruiz-Sanchez et al, 2019). They are present in about 1,500 consumer products (Li and Kobayashi, 2004), that are used in a variety of contexts, including musical instruments, food profiles, and building supplies (Cho et al, 2011) to the production of paper pulp, fencing, basketry (Pearson et al, 1994), water pipes, utensils (Liu et al, 2008), bridges (Xiao et al, 2010), and low-rise housing (Chung and Yu, 2002).…”
