Morphological:?Erect leaf habit; long leaf length; broad leaf width; green/light green leaf blade color; green or light green petiole color; no or sparse blotching at petiole base; tall pseudostem height; robust pseudostem aspect; large corm size; hard corm.?Agronomic:?Kocho yield high; Kocho quality very good; Kocho color white; Etino/Bulla content high; fiber strength strong; fermentation rate slow; sucker regeneration rate low; disease (bacterial wilt) resistance high.?Use:?Processing type (Atina'o-k'aayo/male type); used for Kocho, Bulla, fiber; poor Amicho quality (bitter/sticky/watery).?Key Finding:?Highly disease-resistant landrace (Noobo, Gudiro, Yoobo are cited as resistant clones). |

Morphological:?Domesticated enset landrace.?Regeneration:?100% regeneration frequency across all corm treatments (whole, halved, quartered). Produced 51?501 shoots per corm depending on corm treatment.?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. |
