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.

Plant Direct, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT Nucleoredoxin 1 (NRX1), a member of the redoxin superfamily, plays a critical role in maintaining redox homeostasis and enhancing stress tolerance in plants. We employed integrated in silico analyses and CRISPR‐Cas9‐based genome editing to functionally characterize NRX1 in Triticum aestivum (wheat) responding to salinity and infection by ...

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 173, Issue 6, November/December 2025.ABSTRACT In July 2021, desert rose plants were consistently observed with symptoms of brown spots on the leaves, which coalesced and promoted leaf fall. The causal agent of the disease was unknown. This study aimed to identify the pathogen responsible for the symptoms through morphological and molecular characterisation, as well as pathogenicity tests.

Development of a cost‐effective single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping array for management of greater yam germplasm collections [PDF]
, 2019 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

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
