Production & Agronomy |
Morphological:?Domesticated enset landrace.?Regeneration:?100% regeneration frequency across all corm treatments. Produced 51?501 shoots per corm depending on corm treatment.?Age Response:?One-year-old corms produced lowest number of shoots (42 shoots per corm) in initial age trial.?Corm Treatment Response:?Quartered corms showed highest shoot multiplication; whole corms produced fewer shoots.?Key Finding:?Domesticated landraces show significantly higher shoot regeneration capacity compared to wild enset; splitting corm enhances shoot induction efficiency. |
