Improving micropropagation ofDioscorea cayenensis–Dioscorea rotundatacomplex by the use of nodal cuttings and microtubers

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section B - Soil & Plant Science, 2013
Yams (Dioscorea spp.) are tuber crops used as staple food in Africa because of their nutritional value. In contrast to the inefficiency of traditional method of planting, micropropagation by nodal cuttings allows to increase the multiplication and the rapid production of pathogen-free plant material.

Identification of some Benin Republic's Guinea yam (Dioscorea cayenensis/Dioscorea rotundata complex) cultivars using Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 2000
DNA from twenty-three late maturing cultivars of Guinea yams (D. cayenensis/D. rotundata complex) from the Benin Republic that could not be separated using isozyme markers, were examined using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers with decamer primers of arbitrary sequence.

Purification and Kinetic Characterisation of Lactate Dehydrogenase from Dioscorea cayenensis Tuber

Biologia plantarum, 2001
Lactate dehydrogenase from yellow yam tuber (Dioscorea cayenensis Lam.) was isolated and purified using various chromatographic methods and electrophoresis. Only one form of the enzyme obtained, which obeyed Michaelis-Menten kinetics, was activated by Mg2+ and Ca2+ and inhibited by nucleotides and PEP.

Ploidy variation in the cultivated yams (Dioscorea cayenensis-Dioscorea rotundata complex) from Cameroon as determined by flow cytometry

Euphytica, 2001
The ploidy levels of the twenty-two yam (Dioscorea cayenensis-D. rotundata complex) cultivars within germplasm Cameroon Guinea yam were determined by flow cytometry. Three different ploidy levels (4x,6x, 8x) were detected within the samples analysed. Fifteen cultivars were tetraploids, five were hexaploids, and two were octoploids.
