Evolutionary origins of taro (Colocasia esculenta) in Southeast Asia. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 AbstractAs an ancient clonal root and leaf crop, taro (Colocasia esculenta, Araceae) is highly polymorphic with uncertain genetic and geographic origins. We explored chloroplast DNA diversity in cultivated and wild taros, and closely related wild taxa, and found cultivated taro to be polyphyletic, with tropical and temperate clades that appear to ...
