Intraspecific Genetic Diversity Analyses of Yam (Dioscorea polystachya Turcz.) Based on DUS Traits and SSR Molecular Markers

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
The 113 D. polystachya accessions exhibited substantial genetic diversity, clearly distinguished using 19 SSR markers and 50 DUS traits. A refined set of 14 core DUS traits was established, significantly improving variety identification efficiency. These selected markers and traits provide valuable tools for genetic research and support the utilization

Carboxylate release as a nutrient‐acquisition strategy in mycorrhizal plant species in phosphorus‐impoverished environments

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 8, Page 2077-2092, August 2025.
Many mycorrhizal plant species very likely depended on root carboxylate release to acquire P at the P‐impoverished study sites. Arbuscular mycorrhizal species exhibited a less conservative nutrient‐utilisation strategy with higher leaf [P] than cluster‐rooted non‐mycorrhizal species and accessed more inorganic N.

Yield stability of water yam (Dioscorea alata L) landraces compared to improved varieties across multiple environments and their culinary qualities in the Republic of Benin

JSFA reports, Volume 5, Issue 7, Page 315-325, July 2025.
Abstract Background In the Republic of Benin, the fresh yam market has two key periods: a time of high availability from August to February, followed by a scarcity from March to July. Fortunately, when Dioscorea rotundata fresh tubers become scarce and expensive, Dioscorea alata (commonly known as Agaabidjan/ Florido) pervades the market and provides a

Molecular characterization of Secoviridae and Potexvirus infecting yams (Dioscorea spp) [PDF]

, 2011
The prevalence of virus species is generally high among vegetatively?propagated crops, because they cannot be sanitized via seed production and therefore accumulate viruses over long periods of time.

Micropropagation of Dioscorea alata L. through nodal segments

African Journal of Biotechnology, 2013
Yams (Dioscorea) are well known for their medicinal use as well as nutritional values. Dioscorea plants are rapidly vanishing from nature due to their over-exploitation by human beings. In order to conserve Dioscorea plants, the present investigation was carried out with a view to regenerate plantlet of  Dioscorea alata L.
