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

Enhancing Regeneration in White Yam (Dioscorea rotundata) Through Friable Embryogenic Callus [PDF]
Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture (PCTOC)Abstract White yam (Dioscorea rotundata) is a critical staple food and an income generating crop in tropical regions. However, its improvement via classical breeding is challenging and time consuming due to an erratic flowering pattern, poor seed set, dioecious nature, low pollen fertility and low seed germination rates. These constraints limit
