Abstract: | Taro seeds maintained under c. 40 per cent r.h. and 22 ±2°C retained higher viability than those stored under otherexperimental conditions. Germination was more than 60 per centon a number of defined and undefined media. Rates above 80 percent were obtained on a greenhouse potting mix or its extractor distilled water with filter paper as a support. When maintainedin the dark, seedlings cultured in vitro on one of several definedmedia etiolated and produced atypical, elongated internodeswhich resemble those of vining aroids. Plantlets which developedat their nodes were removed and raised to maturity. Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott, taro, seed storage, seed germination, seedling proliferation |
