    Abstract:

    Abstract: Analysis on quality characters of taro germplasm resource was done. It indicated that: divided by corm type, the turn of dry matter content was: taro with large corm>taro with multi-headed corm>taro used for both corm and cormels>taro with numerous cormels. The turn of starch content was: taro with large corm>taro used for both corm and cormels>taro with multi-headed corm>taro with numerous cormels. Dry matter content and starch of taro with large corm were the highest, which were 27.38% and 20.21% respectively. Dry matter content and starch of taro with numerous cormels were the lowerest, which were 19.54% and 13.35% respectively. The turn of protein content was: taro with multi-headed corm>taro with large corm>taro with numerous cormels>taro used for both corm and cormels. Protein content of taro with multi-headed corm was the highest, which was 1.54%. There was no obvious difference among those of the others. The turn of soluble sugar content was: taro with large corm>taro used for both corm and cormels>taro with numerous cormels>taro with multi-headed corm. Soluble sugar of taro with large corm was the highest, which was 1.21%. There was no obvious difference among those of the others. Divided by the color of corm bud, in taro with numerous cormels, the turn of dry matter content, starch content and protein content was: Taro (red bud) with numerous cormels>taro (white bud) with numerous cormels. The turn of soluble sugar was: Taro (white bud) with numerous cormels>taro (red bud) with numerous cormels. In taro with multi-headed corm, the turn of dry matter content, starch content and soluble sugar content was: Taro (white bud) with multi-headed corm>Taro (red bud) with multi-headed corm. The turn of protein content was: Taro (red bud) with multi-headed corm>Taro (white bud) with multi-headed corm. In all taro germplasm resources, there was very distinct correlation between dry matter content and starch content (r=0.9583**), dry matter content and protein content (r=0.5529**), starch content and protein content (r=0.5284**). There was very negative distinct correlation between dry matter content and soluble sugar content (r=-0.2934**), starch content and soluble sugar content (r=-0.3391**), protein content and soluble sugar content (r=-0.4498**). In this article, analysis on quality characters of taro germplasm resource was also done, divided by petiole color.
