Genetic Diversification and Dispersal of Taro (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott)
Taro (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott) is widely distributed in tropical and sub-tropical areas. However, its origin, diversification and dispersal remain unclear. While taro genetic diversity has been documented at the country and regional levels in Asia and the Pacific, few reports are available from Americas and Africa where it has been introduced through human migrations. We used eleven mic...
متن کاملComposition and availability of soluble and insoluble oxalates in raw and cooked taro (Colocasia esculenta var. Schott) leaves
Taro (Colocasia esculenta var. Schott) is a major staple food crop in parts of Asia and the Pacific Islands and is grown as a minor crop in New Zealand. Soluble, insoluble and total oxalate content of young and older leaves were determined by HPLC following hot water (80 C) and hot (80 C) acid (0.2 mol/L HCL) extractions. Young taro leaves contained 589 ± 35.8 mg total oxalates/100 g fresh weig...
متن کاملCryopreservation of in vitro-grown shoot-tips of tropical taro (Colocasia esculenta var. esculenta) by vitrification.
In vitro shoot-tips of three cultivars of tropical taro (Colocasia esculenta var. esculenta (L.) Schott) were successfully cryopreserved by vitrification. Different conditioning treatments were required for each of the cultivars, while the vitrification protocol was constant for all. For the cultivars E399 and CPUK, shoot-tips from three-month-old in vitro plants grown on solidified MS were pre...
متن کاملCloning, expression, and characterization of soluble starch synthase I cDNA from taro (Colocasia esculenta Var. esculenta).
Soluble starch synthase I (SSSI) cDNA was isolated from taro (Colocasia esculenta var. esculenta) by RT-PCR and rapid amplification of cDNA ends reaction. The transcript of this single-copy gene is 2340 bp and encodes 642 amino acids protein containing a putative transit peptide of 54 residues. Recombinant SSSI protein displayed both primer-dependent and primer-independent activities of starch ...
متن کاملAnti-melanogenic Fatty Acid Derivatives from the Tuber-barks of Colocasia antiquorum var. esculenta
Figure 2. The effect of fractions A, B, C, D and E from the EtOAC soluble fraction of the methanolic extract of tuber-barks of C. antiquorum var. esculenta on melanogenesis in melan-a cells. Test samples were tested at three concentrations of 1, 10 and 100 μg/mL. PTU (1-phenyl-2-thiourea) was used as positive control. Test sample and medium were renewed daily. The cell viabilities and the melan...
