Abstract:	Explants of taro cultivars belonging to Colocasia esculentavar. esculenta have been nearly impossible to culture untilrecently. Here, we describe a method which induces callus formationfrom bud explants of Colocasia esculenta var. esculenta cv.Akalomamale, brings about shoot and root production, and leadsto plantlet regeneration. The medium used is half-strength Murashige-Skoog(HMS) solution containing 25 ml taro tuber extract (TE), 2 mg2, 4, 5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 200 mg glutamine 1¹.TE is an important requirement for bud explants and callus tissues.Root induction on callus-derived shoots (i.e. plantlet formation)occurs on HMS containing only 25 ml TE and 100 ml coconut water1¹.
