Phases of Dormancy in Yam Tubers (Dioscorea rotundata) [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2006 The control of dormancy in yam (Disocorea spp.) tubers is poorly understood and attempts to shorten the long dormant period (i.e. cause tubers to sprout or germinate much earlier) have been unsuccessful. The aim of this study was to identify and define the phases of dormancy in Dioscorea rotundata tubers, and to produce a framework within which ...
