India's Key Role in the Evolution of Jamun Uncovered
A new study has revealed that India plays a critical role in the evolutionary history of the Jamun (Syzygium) plant genus, suggesting an East Gondwanan origin dating back 80 million years. Previously, Jamun was believed to have originated in Australia or Southeast Asia, but new fossil evidence from India, some 20 million years ago, challenges this notion, showing the plant's long-standing presence in the region and its subsequent dispersal to Southeast Asia and Australia.
