1 Ethiopia Various Production & Agronomy Regeneration:?50-95% regeneration frequency.?Early Growth:?Leaf number 5.83 (highest), leaf width 12.76 cm, leaf length 28.14 cm (lowest), pseudostem circumference 11.12 cm (highest).?Shoot Range:?6-85 shoots per corm.?Key Finding:?Higher leaf number and pseudostem circumference but lower shoot production compared to domesticated landraces. Haile et al. 2025
2 Sheka Zone Anderacha Woreda Production & Agronomy Morphological:?Wild enset accession from Sheka Zone; wild populations mainly occur in Afromontane rainforest.?Regeneration:?50?95% regeneration frequency depending on corm treatment; 6?85 shoots per corm.?Corm Treatment Response:?Whole corms produced lowest shoot multiplication rate (6 shoots per corm). Splitting corm enhances shoot induction efficiency.?Key Finding:?Domesticated enset has significantly higher shoot regeneration capacity compared to wild enset; wild enset can be successfully propagated vegetatively using same method as cultivated enset.
