Abstract
Genetic diversity of crop plants is the basis of a successful plant breeding programme. Colocasia esculenta L. Schott is one of the major edible tuber crop cultivated in different regions of India. It exhibits great genetic variability. Morphological and molecular studies support the existence of high genetic variability between C. esculenta germplasm accessions. It will enhance the probability of success of a plant breeding programme. Most of these studies were concentrated on North East states of India. Only a few genetic variability studies at molecular level were reported in India. Hence the present work is an attempt to summarise the genetic variability studies in taro in India.
