Somatic Embryogenesis in Yam (Dioscorea rotundata)
Revista Facultad Nacional de Agronomía Medellín, 2011 Embryogenic yam (Dioscorea rotundata) cultures were induced from petioles of leaves of in vitro grown plants on medium supplemented with different 2.4-D concentrations. Cultures were maintained either on semisolid or in liquid MS medium supplemented with

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
