Phases of dormancy in Yam tubers (Dioscorea rotundata). [PDF]
Ann Bot, 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 ...

Postharvest application of growth regulators on Dioscorea alata (L.) and Dioscorea rotundata (Poir.)
Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Hortícolas, 2021 Yam is a tuber that sees high demand and consumption in Colombia, whose post-harvest quality losses during storage have been a challenge for farmers. At the Universidad de Cordoba-Colombia, Agronomy Engineering program, between March and August of 2019, a trial was established to estimate the effect of two growth regulators on the variables: tuber ...

Somatic polyploidization and characterization of induced polyploids of Dioscorea rotundata and Dioscorea cayenensis [PDF]
African Journal of Biotechnology, 2016 Genetic improvement of major food yams is constrained by a number of factors, such as the scarcity of flowers and lack of synchronization between male and female flowering. Consequently, somaclonal variation including somatic polyploidization has been considered as a useful tool in yam breeding.
