Production Of Taro (Colocasia esculenta) Planting Material Enhanced By Bioreactor
System. WORLD CONGRESS OF ROOT AND TUBER CROPS
Ulamila D. Lutu and Valerie S. Tuia 19th January, 2016
Project Context • Taro is a staple food crop throughout the Pacific
Island region. Important: Ø Culturally Ø Dietary Ø Economically
• Taro was a major export of Samoa throughout the 1980s but was decimated by Phytophthora colocasiae leaf blight in 1993-‐ Food and income security.
• Focus on the supply chain of taro in Samoa: Ø adequate supply of planOng material Ø good quality Ø market preferred To supply domesOc and export markets.
• TIP bred some 5 varieOes from crosses of varieOes from Palau, FSM and Philippines and Asian materials.
OBJECTIVE Support the sustainable growth of Samoa’s taro domes6c and export market by: • Improving methods for mul6plying plan6ng material
• Developing a new effec6ve and rapid mass propaga6on system using modern applica6on of biotechnology-‐
“BIOREACTOR SYSTEM”.
• 2 varieOes: v Nuu 20 (BL/SM/201) v Talo meamata (BL/SM/202)
• All plantlets were precultured on solid MS for 2-‐3 weeks prior to experiments. • 10 replicates per variety per treatment • Culture vessels used:
v McCartney glass bo]les (28 ml) v Cospak glass bo]les (125 ml) v Bioreactor bo]le (2,700 cm2)
• Cultures exposed to: v Temperature: 25 oC ± 2 OC v Light intensity: 2668 lux irradiance v 18 hours day length

DISCUSSION • Method 5 (Treatment 3) – Combina6on of conven6onal
sta6c system and Bioreactor system is the best protocol. • Plants from Bioreactor system-‐ ready to be planted out within
2 months (Normal nursery strengthening: 3 months). • Plantlets were normal when exposed to higher BAP
concentra6on at a shorter 6me (2 weeks). • Longer exposure (4 weeks) of plantlets to higher BAP
concentra6on had an adverse impact on growth, development and root elonga6on of the plantlets.
• Bioreactor system enhanced quality, vigour, height, root growth rates of taro plantlets than those produced in conven6onal sta6c (glass) system.
Plant growth in screen house Plantlets generated via
bioreactor in vitro system, 100% survival
Plantlets generated via conventional semi-solid static (glass) in vitro system
94% survival

CePaCT POTENTIAL PRODUCTION:
• 1,000 stock can poten6ally produces 64,000 plantlets for 1 month
• 64,000/mth x 12 mths = 768,000 plantlets/year REALISTIC PRODUCTION: • 1,000 stock can produce 4,000 plantlets/mth month • 4,000/mth x 12 months = 48,000 plantlets/year
Advantage of using the BIOREACTOR over the NORMAL CONVENTIONAL staOc SYSTEM
• Improves plant material quality • Increases plant height and root
length • Better aeration, enhances
growth • Higher nutrient uptake –
nutrients in contact with roots • Reduced manipulations and
labour • Drastic reduction in work,
shelving area and number of containers used
bioreactor -‐ 6l6ng system
normal sta6c system
CONCLUSION: • Bioreactor system improved the
field-‐plan6ng readiness of taro plantlets by 20 weeks in contrast to 28 weeks using the conven6onal method.
• The bioreactor-‐treated plantlets achieved 100% survival rate as compared to 94% for glass-‐treated plantlets in the screen house
• Poten6al produc6on is: v 768,000 plantlets/year (combina6on of sta6c and bioreactor treated plants).
v 48,000 plantlets/year (conven6onal sta6c method).
