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 ...

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.

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 ...

The effect of gender on end‐user preferences for yam quality descriptors
Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 10, Issue 11, Page 3890-3904, November 2022., 2022 Sweet taste and mouldability are key quality indicators liked by both females and males. Males prefer yams with longer digestion time while females like aroma of yam. Varieties that are not watery and do not brown are important characteristics during processing. Abstract Improving the effectiveness of breeding programs could be achieved by breeding for

TAXON, Volume 70, Issue 2, Page 365-428, April 2021., 2021 Abstract In 1814, A.W. Roth received a herbarium collection of some 1500 plants from Benjamin Heyne. Most of these specimens came from southern India where Heyne had worked as a doctor and naturalist since 1792. Roth wrote up the material in his book Novae plantarum, which was published in 1821.

Plant Breeding, Volume 139, Issue 3, Page 474-497, June 2020., 2020 Abstract Yam (Dioscorea spp.) is an important tuber crop with tremendous potential as a functional food in the tropics and subtropics. However, the crop has not shown progressive productivity gain over decades due to various production constraints. This paper reviews the progress achieved in empirical breeding endeavours and the development, status and
