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 ...
