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 ...

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT Monogeneans are among the most problematic ectoparasites in finfish aquaculture. Plant‐derived compounds have been widely explored as therapeutic agents, yet their efficacy and safety have not been quantitatively synthesized across studies. This study provides a meta‐analysis of plant‐based treatments against monogeneans, integrating 453 in ...

Rewiring Steroidal Metabolic Pathways for Diosgenin Production in Solanum nigrum
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3032-3047, May 2026.ABSTRACT Diosgenin is a key starting material for the synthesis of steroidal drugs, such as corticosteroids and sex hormones. While the primary commercial source of diosgenin is the tubers of Dioscorea spp., identifying alternative plant hosts capable of diosgenin biosynthesis could enhance its production.
