Thermal Properties and Dynamic Rheological Characterization of Dioscorea Starch Gels

Gels
Yam (Dioscorea. sp.) is an edible starchy tuber with potential for being a commercial source of starch for industrial purposes, but yam starch is underutilized. The dynamic oscillatory and thermal properties of yam starches from sixteen varieties each of

A Sequence-Independent Strategy for Amplification and Characterisation of Episomal Badnavirus Sequences Reveals Three Previously Uncharacterised Yam Badnaviruses

Viruses, 2016
Yam (Dioscorea spp.) plants are potentially hosts to a diverse range of badnavirus species (genus Badnavirus, family Caulimoviridae), but their detection is complicated by the existence of integrated badnavirus sequences in some yam genomes.

Genetic Variability of Water Yam (Dioscorea alata L.) Tubers From Côte d’Ivoire Based on Agromorphological and Culinary Traits

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Assessment of the genetic diversity within existing germplasm is essential for the sustainable management of plant genetic resources, and the development of improved cultivars. Dioscorea alata is considered as one of the most widespread root and tuber crop species in tropical regions, and significantly contributes to enhancing the income of small‐scale

Effect of yam (Dioscorea spp.) starch on the physicochemical, rheological, and sensory properties of yogurt

Heliyon, 2021
This study investigated the effect of the addition of starch from “hawthorn” yam (Dioscorea rotundata) and “creole” yam (Dioscorea alata) at different concentrations (0.1%, 0.3%, and 0.5% w/w) on the physicochemical and sensory properties of stirred-type

Participatory Selection of White guinea Yam (Dioscorea rotundata P.) Elite Cultivars Using Organoleptic and Sensory Quality‐Related Traits of Boiled and Pounded Tubers

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Culinary quality is one of the most important and relevant parameters for the widespread adoption of the selected new plant cultivars. Although plant breeders usually develop new varieties that are high‐yielding and disease‐resistant in response to significantly high viral and parasitic pressures threatening food security, the organoleptic and sensory ...

Optimum time for hand pollination in yam (Dioscorea spp.).

PLoS ONE, 2022
Hand pollination success rate is low in yam (Dioscorea spp.), due partly to suboptimal weather conditions. Thus, determining the most suitable time for pollination could improve the pollination success in yam breeding programs.
