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 ...

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.

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 ...

Profiling Anthocyanins in Thai Purple Yams (Dioscorea alata L.). [PDF]
Int J Food Sci, 2020 Two accessions of Thai purple yam (Dioscorea alata) were investigated for their chemical constituents during tuber development when the vines were 3 to 8 months old. Yam tubers contained total phenolic compounds ranging between 100 and 385 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE), flavonoids 60–160 mg catechin equivalent (CE), monomeric anthocyanin of 10–90 mg ...

Characterization of the Omnivorous <i>Lygus lineolaris</i> Diet in a Strawberry Field by Metataxonomy. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis 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 ...
