Evaluation of the Starch Quantification Methods of Musa paradisiaca, Manihot esculenta, and Dioscorea trífida Using Factorial Experiments [PDF]

International Journal of Food Science, 2018
Background. Starch and its products are used in a variety of ways for both the food and nonfood industries. A factorial experiment is carried out with two factors to explain the behavior of the percentage of starch, where the factors correspond to the ...

Local knowledge as a tool for prospecting wild food plants: experiences in northeastern Brazil [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
This study aims to provide a simple framework to identify wild food plants with potential for popularization based on local knowledge and perception. To this end, we also characterized the distribution of this knowledge in the socio-ecological system. We

Uncovering the genetic diversity of yams (Dioscorea spp.) in China by combining phenotypic trait and molecular marker analyses. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2021
Representative yam resources from five species were collected in 21 provinces in China. The genetic diversity of 112 yam accessions in China was evaluated roundly by combining phenotypic traits, SSR, and SRAP markers. Genetic difference between yam resources in China was identified roughly, and Dioscorea opposita probably originated from China ...

Yams (Dioscorea spp.) in shellmounds and swiddens: ancient history in Babitonga Bay, Santa Catarina State, southern Brazil [PDF]

Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine
Background In Babitonga Bay, southern Brazil, records of yam consumption exist among shellmound builders from at least 4000 years ago. Shellmounds (sambaquis) are anthropogenic structures in the form of mounds with layers of shells associated with other ...

Comparative Study of the Physicochemical, Functional, Thermal, and Rheological Properties of Pretreated Flours From <i>Dioscorea alata</i> and <i>Dioscorea rotundata</i>. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Pretreatments help improve flour quality. The increase in solubility and dispersibility is greater in D. rotundata. D. alata flours are more resistant to shear than D. rotundata flours. All flours degrade after 200°C. D. alata flours are more elastic while D. rotundata flours are more viscous.

Storage Behavior and Response to Low-Cost Postharvest Technologies of the Underutilized Purple Yampee (Dioscorea trifida L.f.) [PDF]

Foods
Postharvest losses and limited physiological knowledge restrict the conservation and year-round availability of underutilized crops such as Dioscorea trifida. This study characterized the postharvest behavior of Colombian purple D.

Detection and diversity of viruses infecting African yam (Dioscorea rotundata) in a collection and F₁ progenies in Côte d'Ivoire shed light to plant-to-plant viral transmission. [PDF]

Plant Pathol, 2021
A survey of leaf symptoms and viral molecular indexation on African yam germplasm and two hybrid populations unveiled a high prevalence of yam viruses in Côte d'Ivoire and provided evidence for their plant‐to‐plant transmission. ​ Abstract Yam (Dioscorea spp.) is a major staple food whose production is hampered by viral diseases.

Strategies to combat the problem of yam anthracnose disease: Status and prospects. [PDF]

Mol Plant Pathol, 2021
Resistance to yam anthracnose, the most devastating fungal disease of yam (Dioscorea spp.), can be produced by genomics‐assisted breeding, high‐throughput phenotyping, genetic engineering, and CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. Abstract Yam (Dioscorea spp.) anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum alatae, is the most devastating fungal disease of yam in West ...

Genome-wide development of intra- and inter-specific transferable SSR markers and construction of a dynamic web resource for yam molecular breeding: Y2MD. [PDF]

Plant Genome
Abstract Microsatellite markers are widely used in population genetics and breeding. Despite the economic significance of yams in developing countries, there is a paucity of microsatellite markers, and as of now, no comprehensive microsatellite marker database exists. In this study, we conducted genome‐wide microsatellite marker development across four
