Pre-Protection and Mechanism of Crude Extracts from Dioscorea alata L. on H₂O₂-Induced IPEC-J2 Cells Oxidative Damage [PDF]

Animals, 2023
The purple tubers of Dioscorea alata L. have been found to contain a variety of bioactive chemical components, including anthocyanins, which make it significant to investigate the pre-protective effects of Dioscorea alata L.

Genetic control of flowering in greater yam (Dioscorea alata L.) [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Greater yam (Dioscorea alata L.) 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 ...

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.

Metabolome and Transcriptome Reveal the Regulatory Mechanism of Anthocyanin Synthesis in Tuber Skin and Flesh of Dioscorea alata L. [PDF]

Plants
Anthocyanins can enhance the nutritional and market value of Dioscorea alata L. They are synthesized in a tissue-specific manner in the peel and flesh of tubers in some Dioscorea alata L.

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.

Profiling Anthocyanins in Thai Purple Yams (Dioscorea alata L.) [PDF]

International Journal of Food Science, 2020
Two accessions of Thai purple yam (Dioscorea alata) were investigated for their chemical constituents during tuber development when the vines were 3 to 8 months old. Yam tubers contained total phenolic compounds ranging between 100 and 385 mg gallic acid

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.

Sustainable pH sensing: repurposing the anthocyanin-rich extract from Dioscorea alata for green analytical chemistry [PDF]

RSC Advances
Over the years, synthetic indicators have been the choice for acid–base titrations. However, due to environmental and safety concerns, the search for natural compounds that can act as acid–base indicators is important.
