Abstract:When in vitro plantlets were cultured in Murashige and Skoog liquid medium supplemented with 8–10% sucrose and 22–44 μM 6-benzylaminopurine, all of the stem explants formed corms. 170–850 μM paclobutrazol increased corm formation, whereas 1700 μM paclobutrazol inhibited corm development. Inclusion of 66 μM 6-benzylaminopurine in 170 μM paclobutrazol treatment resulted in smaller corms, and bigger corms formed in the combination of 1700 μM paclobutrazol and 66 μM 6-benzylaminopurine. No corms formed in 63–630 μM cycocel treatments. In vitro corm growth was also affected by the culture methods. Deep-layer agitated culture yielded corms of up to 2.03 g, with an average fresh weight of 0.7 g, 40 days after induction. In thin layer cultures, corms were up to 1.87 g, with an average fresh weight of 0.5 g. SDS-PAGE analysis of water-soluble proteins revealed changes of polypeptides with corm growth. Compared to smaller ones, corms over 0.2 g had higher dry matter, carbohydrate and anthocyanin content. These corms had a 99–100% survival rate upon transplanting directly to soil after storage at 4 °C for 10 months. This study indicates that the most economic production method of diploid taro seed corm is by thin-layer liquid culture in Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 22–44 μM benzylaminopurine and 8–10% sucrose for 6 weeks. The formed corms can be stored at 4 °C up to 10 months and transplanted directly into soil without acclimatization. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
