ABSTRACT: Background: Taro (Colocasia esculenta) is a vital crop in tropical regions, but its growth is threatened by salinity, which limits productivity through osmotic stress and ion toxicity. This study evaluates the impact of salt stress on the 'Maruja' taro variety to assess its potential tolerance to saline conditions. Materials and Methods: A greenhouse experiment was conducted at the University of the Pacific, Colombia. Taro plantlets were grown in a soil-sand......
Keywords: Salinity stress, osmotic stress, tuber crop, plant physiology, chlorophyll content, electrolyte leakage
