Research Progress and Prospect of Colocasia esculenta Germplasm Resources however, there are defects in the evaluation technology and basic research of excellent germplasms, and the innovation of taro germplasm has not been done thoroughly, the problems of serious diseases in production have not yet been resolved, there is a lack of disease-resistant varieties in production, and crossing breeding is still in its infancy. It is proposed that the researches
on the collection, preservation and innovative utilization of taro resources should be further strengthened, the application of taro virus-free seedlings should be promoted in production, and the researches on obstacles in taro continuous cropping and the breeding of new taro hybrid varieties should be accelerated. |
