Unravelling the genetic diversity of water yam (Dioscorea alata L.) accessions from Tanzania using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2023
Water yam (Dioscorea alata L.) is among the most cultivated species used as a source of food and income for small-scale farmers in Tanzania. However, little is documented about Dioscorea species available in Tanzania, including their genetic diversity ...

Haplotype-resolved genome assembly of a male Dioscorea alata cultivar reveals the structure and evolution of young sex chromosomes. [PDF]

Plant J
SUMMARY Dioscorea alata L., the most widely cultivated yam species, exhibits dioecy (XY system) and a strong male‐biased sex ratio. These two major constraints limit parental combinations and hinder breeding progress. To get insight into the sex chromosome structure and evolution in D.

Comparative Study of the Physicochemical, Functional, Thermal, and Rheological Properties of Pretreated Flours From <i>Dioscorea alata</i> and <i>Dioscorea rotundata</i>. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Pretreatments help improve flour quality. The increase in solubility and dispersibility is greater in D. rotundata. D. alata flours are more resistant to shear than D. rotundata flours. All flours degrade after 200°C. D. alata flours are more elastic while D. rotundata flours are more viscous.

Genome-Wide Association Studies for Sex Determination and Cross-Compatibility in Water Yam (Dioscorea alata L.) [PDF]

Plants, 2021
Yam (Dioscorea spp.) species are predominantly dioecious, with male and female flowers borne on separate individuals. Cross-pollination is, therefore, essential for gene flow among and within yam species to achieve breeding objectives.

Annealing-Induced Modifications in Yam Starches: Implications for Fermented Yam Flour (<i>Elubo</i>) and Textural Quality of Named Indigenous Yam Food Product-<i>Amala</i>. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Processing yam tubers into elubo (fermented yam flour) induces starch annealing, which modifies starch functionality and pasting behavior. These changes significantly influence the textural quality of amala prepared from 55 varieties of two Dioscorea species (D. alata and D. rotundata).
