Abstract:Taro, Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott is one of the most valued crops for economic, medicinal, and nutritional roots and tubers globally. However, the crop has not received pronounced research attention to enhance its production and utilization potential, which has resulted in insufficient planting materials for utilization by breeders in Ghana. Genetic diversity characterization of taro at molecular level is important and crucial step for their utilization in breeding and conservation. Hence, this study was c… Show more
