New canopy legume species highlight liana gap sampling across Amazonian and Atlantic rain forests

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Lianas are a key component of the Neotropical flora, accounting for 10% of angiosperm richness and playing important ecological roles. However, the canopy preference of some species often leads to their underrepresentation in herbarium collections, thereby exacerbating Linnaean, Darwinian, and Wallacean shortfalls. The papilionoid legume genus

Modelling growth and productivity of Yams (Dioscorea Spp): Prospects and problems

Agricultural Systems, 1991
Abstract This methodological paper recommends a modelling approach to achieve a greater understanding of the physiology of yield in yams (Dioscorea spp.), and of the influence of various ecological, biotic and planter-induced factors on the yield. Such a model would also permit the prediction of yield under various conditions, and would be a tool in ...

Haplotype‐resolved genome assembly of a male Dioscorea alata cultivar reveals the structure and evolution of young sex chromosomes

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 4, August 2026.
SUMMARY Dioscorea alata L., the most widely cultivated yam species, exhibits dioecy (XY system) and a strong male‐biased sex ratio. These two major constraints limit parental combinations and hinder breeding progress. To get insight into the sex chromosome structure and evolution in D.
