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 ...
