Flowering intensity in white yam (Dioscorea rotundata)
The Journal of Agricultural Science, 2009 SUMMARYWhite or Guinea yam (Dioscorea rotundata), grown for its underground tubers, is an important food in West Africa. Progress in yam breeding is constrained by variable flowering behaviour, making hybridization difficult. Yam clones may be dioecious, monoecious or hermaphrodite with variable sex ratios.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.With global weather patterns becoming more extreme and unpredictable, sourcing reliable irrigation water is vital for improving food security and conserving drinking water in drought‐prone areas. Emerging desalination technologies, which are still in the development phase, could potentially provide large quantities of slightly saline water for ...

Past, present and future of local crop evolution
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

A new approach to improvement of yam Dioscorea rotundata
Nature, 1975 EFFORTS to improve the yam, D. rotundata, through hybridisation have been frustrated by the low rate of flowering, the very low rate of fruit setting and poor seed germination1–3. These constraints have confined the availability of genetic resources for selection to the small number of cultivars which have been vegetatively reproduced from time ...
