Genetic control of flowering in greater yam (Dioscorea alata L.). [PDF]
BMC Plant Biol, 2021 AbstractBackgroundGreater yam (Dioscorea alataL.) is a major tropical and subtropical staple crop cultivated for its starchy tubers. Breeding of this dioecious species is hampered by its erratic flowering, yet little is currently known on the genetic determinism of its sexual reproduction.ResultHere we used a genome-wide association approach and ...

Profiling Anthocyanins in Thai Purple Yams (Dioscorea alata L.). [PDF]
Int J Food Sci, 2020 Two accessions of Thai purple yam (Dioscorea alata) were investigated for their chemical constituents during tuber development when the vines were 3 to 8 months old. Yam tubers contained total phenolic compounds ranging between 100 and 385 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE), flavonoids 60–160 mg catechin equivalent (CE), monomeric anthocyanin of 10–90 mg ...
