Yam (Dioscorea spp.) production trends in Cameroon: A review [PDF]
African Journal of Agricultural Research, 2019 Yam (Dioscorea spp.) cultivation has the potentials to greatly contribute to poverty alleviation and food security, in Cameroon. The full production potentials of yams have not been exploited, leaving Cameroon with an annual production of 648,407 metric tons (MT) at the sixth position, among the six countries of the West African yam zone, with 67.3 ...

Characterization of the Omnivorous Lygus lineolaris Diet in a Strawberry Field by Metataxonomy
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.This study employs metataxonomy to reveal the extensive omnivorous diet of Lygus lineolaris in a strawberry field, identifying 475 host taxa and confirming active ingestion across plant and prey sources. We introduce a novel coefficient of omnivory, demonstrating the species' strong herbivorous bias while highlighting its dietary flexibility and ...

Tannia Starch: Structural and Functional Characterization
Starch - Stärke, Volume 78, Issue 1, January 2026.Physicochemical characterization of crude and purified tannia starch revealed increased amylose content, higher pasting viscosity, and preserved A‐type crystallinity in the purified form. The findings highlight tannia starch as a promising functional ingredient for thermally processed foods and biodegradable material applications.

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Background The global dominance of a few major cereal crops has led to the marginalization of traditional species, reducing agrobiodiversity and increasing the vulnerability of food systems. Changing climate conditions, particularly intensifying drought stress, further threaten global food security.
