A Sequence-Independent Strategy for Amplification and Characterisation of Episomal Badnavirus Sequences Reveals Three Previously Uncharacterised Yam Badnaviruses

Viruses, 2016
Yam (Dioscorea spp.) plants are potentially hosts to a diverse range of badnavirus species (genus Badnavirus, family Caulimoviridae), but their detection is complicated by the existence of integrated badnavirus sequences in some yam genomes.

Natural Product‐Derived Vesicles in Nanotherapeutics

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2026.
Natural product‐derived vesicles (NPVs) are an emerging nature‐based nanotherapeutic that can deliver bioactive metabolites into the target site and induce beneficial mechanisms. A practical, chronological bench‐to‐bedside approach throughout the entire NPV development process is expected to resolve challenges encountered in NPV studies.

Funtional Properties of Starch Yam (Dioscorea bulbífera,Dioscorea trífida y Dioscorea esculenta)

Revista Técnica de la Facultad de Ingeniería, 2016
The physicochemical and rheological properties of three yam (D.bulbifera, D.trifida and D.esculenta) species were studied using a completely random with unifactorial arrangement design. The results presented significant differences (p < 0,05) with a water absorption capacity between 134% and 165%, electrical capacity between 100,7 μohms cm-1 and ...
