ABSTRACT Eugenia dysenterica, commonly known as cagaiteira, is a plant native to the Cerrado biome that produces edible fruits and has medicinal properties. Cagaita fruit exhibiting anthracnose symptoms were collected from naturally occurring plants in native fragments of the Cerrado Biome at Gurupi, Tocantins, Brazil.

Development of a cost‐effective single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping array for management of greater yam germplasm collections [PDF]
Using genome‐wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) discovery in greater yam (Discorea alata L.), 4,593 good quality SNPs were identified in 40 accessions. One hundred ninety six of these SNPs were selected to represent the overall dataset and used to

Genetic Variability and Population Structure of Ethiopian Yams (Dioscorea spp.) Based on SSR Markers
The result showed that the SSR markers used in this study were efficient and informative for genetic diversity study of yams. The pattern of diversity across the collection sites showed that Bench‐Maji and Gambella populations resulted in higher values for the genetic diversity parameters assessed, and these areas could thus be considered as a ...

Effect of species, pretreatments, and drying methods on the functional and pasting properties of high-quality yam flour [PDF]
The study investigated the functional properties of HQYF (high-quality yam flour) from tubers of four dioscorea species. The tubers were processed into HQYF using two pretreatments (potassium metabisulphite: 0.28%, 15 min; blanching: 70°C, 15 min) and ...

Conservación in vitro de Dioscorea alata L. clon caraqueño (Dioscoreaceae)
In this study, we report an efficient method for conservation in vitro of Dioscorea alata L. clone caraqueño during 9 and 12 months based on the culture medium modification (MS to 75% + vitamins MS + sucrose 30 g.L-1 + activated charcoal 2 g.L-1) with different manitol (0; 0,5 and 1,5%) and BAP (0; 0,1 mg.L-1) levels.
