چکیده
Present study was carried out at the research farm of ICAR-Central Tuber Crops Research Institute, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala during 3 summer seasons 2016–17, 2017–18 and 2018–19 to assess crop water requirement upland taro (Colocasia esculenta L. Schott) arrive a suitable irrigation schedule under humid tropical conditions Kerala. The experiment conducted in randomized block design (RBD), with 7 treatments as 5 levels drip irrigation, [50% (I1), 75% (I2), 100% (I3), 125% (I4) 150% (I5) evapotranspiration, ETc], furrow rainfed replications. Crop calculated same evapotranspiration (ETc) assuming that there is no other losses. Pooled analysis data collected for three indicated that, I3, ETc optimum achieving maximum cormel yield productivity. optimal observed 610–628 mm, including effective rainfall, based on crop, soil climatic parameters. information will support farmers develop plans advance season, ensuring usage scarce areas, this era climate change.

Cryopreservation 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 کاملGenetic 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 کاملCharacterization of 11 new microsatellite loci in taro (Colocasia esculenta).
Eleven new microsatellite markers were isolated from taro, Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott, a root crop widely distributed all over the world. Forty-eight primer pairs were designed from a microsatellite-enriched genomic library, of which 11 primer pairs have polymorphisms in 30 individuals tested from a population in China, which revealed two to six alleles per locus with the observed and expe...
متن کاملTARO “Colocasia esculenta”: It’s Utilization in Food Products in Ghana
In the past, only about 10% of the World population used root crops as the major staple, [1] but presently the diet of most Ghanaians is based on roots and tubers, and on processed cereal grains. The common roots and tubers utilized in Ghana are mostly cassava, yam and cocoyam. Cereals such as rice, maize and sorghum are also greatly patronized. However, there are other important roots and tube...
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 ...
