Phenotype traits | Description* |
---|---|
Corm diameter (cm) | It was measured from maximum circumference of corm plants using calliper. |
Corm length (cm) | It was measured from the distal end of the corm to the proximal end where the outer leaf petiole is attached to the corm using calliper |
Cormel diameter (cm) | It was measured at the maximum circumference of the cormel using calliper |
Cormel length (cm) | It was measured from the distal end of the cormel to the proximal using calliper |
Cormel weight (g) | It was measured the weight using sensitive balance |
Days to maturity | It was counted days from planting to harvesting of the yield. |
Number of cormels per plant | It was counted the number of cormels per plant at harvesting |
Plant height (cm) | It was measured from collar region to the attachment point between the leaf petiole and the lamina of the tallest leaf by meter |
Number of leaves per plant | It was counted all leaves starting emergence to physiological maturity |
Number of suckers per plant | It was counted all suckers per plant at maturity stage |
Petiole length (cm) | It was measured from based of the petiole to the attachment point of the tallest leaf |
Yield per hectare (t/ha) | Total (Corm and cormel) yield was measured from plot based and converted to t/ha |
Yield per plants (kg) | It was measured all corm and cornels using sensitive balance |
