A sequence-independent strategy for amplification and characterisation of episomal badnavirus sequences reveals three previously uncharacterised yam badnaviruses [PDF]

, 2016
Yam (Dioscorea spp.) plants are potentially hosts to a diverse range of badnavirus species (genus Badnavirus, family Caulimoviridae), but their detection is complicated by the existence of integrated badnavirus sequences in some yam genomes.

Morphological and isozymic diversity of the cultivated yams (Dioscorea cayenensis/Dioscorea rotundata complex) of Cameroon

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 2002
Using IPGRI's descriptors, 45 accessions of Guinea yams(Dioscorea cayenensis Lam./Dioscorea rotundata Poir. complex) collectedin Cameroon were classified into six cultivar groups based on theirmorphological similarities. An identification key is proposed for thecultivar groups.

Comparative Study of the Physicochemical, Functional, Thermal, and Rheological Properties of Pretreated Flours From Dioscorea alata and Dioscorea rotundata

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
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.
