Multiple-Traits Selection in White Guinea Yam (Dioscorea rotundata) Genotypes. [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2022 Choosing superior parents with complementary trait values for hybridization and selecting variants with desired product profiles to release as a new cultivar are important breeding activities to progress genetic improvement in crops. This study assessed the genetic potential of 36 parental lines of white Guinea yam (Dioscorea rotundata) genotypes using

Evaluation of yam (Dioscorea rotundata) mucilage as a stabilizer in the production of mango nectar. [PDF]
Heliyon, 2020 Instability in fruit drinks is a phenomenon that affects sensory and physical-chemical properties, which consumers perceive as lack of quality. Yam mucilage was evaluated as a stabilizer in the production of mango nectar. In addition, physicochemical characteristics, physical and rheological stability were determined.

Association mapping of plant sex and cross-compatibility related traits in white Guinea yam (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.) clones [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2022 Background White Guinea yam (Dioscorea rotundata) is primarily a dioecious species with distinct male and female plants. Its breeding is constrained by sexual reproduction abnormalities, resulting in low success rates in cross-pollination.

Development and characterization of dual-modified yam (Dioscorea rotundata) starch-based films. [PDF]
Heliyon, 2021 The current consumer demand for fresh food and the interest in caring for the environment have driven the development of biodegradable film packaging to replace synthetic films to preserve the integrity of food. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of starch modifications (oxidized, cross-linked, and dual: oxidized/cross-linked ...

Microwave and blanch-assisted drying of white yam (Dioscorea rotundata). [PDF]
Food Sci Nutr, 2015 AbstractThe effect of microwave and blanch pretreatments on the drying kinetics and quality of white yam (Dioscorea rotundata) was investigated. Yam cubes destined for hot air drying at temperatures 70–90°C were predried in a domestic microwave or blanched in hot water for 1–5 min. Microwave pretreatment time had a positive significant effect on drying

Ploidy level studies on the Dioscorea cayenensis/Dioscorea rotundata complex core set
Euphytica, 2009 The Guinea yams, Dioscorea cayenensis Lam. and D. rotundata Poir. (D. cayenensis–D. rotundata complex), represent a highly important crop, widely distributed in the humid and semi-humid tropics. The ploidy levels of 170 accessions of the core set of Guinea yams from West African countries was determined using flow cytometry with
