Characterization data of NPGRL taro accessions
This dataset contains characterization data of taro accessions collected in the Philippines and conserved at NPGRL. NPGRL regenerates and characterizes germplasm aiming to provide morphological information to its plant breeding users. Characterization is performed on a project-basis manner, giving priority to accessions originally collected in the Philippines. IPGRI descriptors for taro (1999) were used in the characterization of taro germplasm accessions.
