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

Ecol Evol
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 ...

Isolation, characterization and cross‐species amplification of microsatellite DNA loci in the tropical American yam Dioscorea trifida

Molecular Ecology Notes, 2005
AbstractWe developed microsatellite markers in American yam (Dioscorea trifida). A microsatellite sequence‐enriched genomic library was screened, and after sequencing, primers were designed for 20 microsatellites. Among these, eight primer pairs yielded amplification products that were both interpretable and polymorphic in 24 yam cultivars.

Functional properties of a promissory Dioscorea trifida waxy starch for food innovation [PDF]

, 2010
Starches with low amylose contents generally exhibit good gel clarity, high swelling power and RVA peak viscosity, large breakdown, and high resistance to retrogradation during gel storage, as compared to some other starches with higher amylose contents. The demand of the food processing industry for new low amylose or even waxy starchy ingredients for

Isolation and characterization of starch from purple yam (Dioscorea trifida). [PDF]

J Food Sci Technol, 2022
As a starchy raw material, purple yam presents pigments and mucilaginous material, what can difficult the extraction of pure starch. The extracted starches of Dioscorea trifida by aqueous and alkaline ways were investigated for purity, thermal, physicochemical, technological and functional properties.

Evidence of diploidy in the wild Amerindian yam, a putative progenitor of the endangered speciesDioscorea trifida(Dioscoreaceae)

Genome, 2010
The fundamental question about Dioscorea trifida (Dioscoreaceae), the most important Amerindian yam, that remains unresolved concerns its evolutionary origin, since no wild relative has been reported. In this paper we report the existence of D. trifida’s wild relative for the first time. The diploidy of wild D. trifida (2n = 40) is clearly demonstrated

Anti-inflammatory activity of American yam Dioscorea trifida L.f. in food allergy induced by ovalbumin in mice [PDF]

Journal of Functional Foods, 2013
AbstractTropical ecosystems are particularly rich in edible plant species with different bioactive substances. Among the plants with promising benefits for health are species from the genus Dioscorea (Dioscoreaceae), especially those named yam. Recent studies have shown the beneficial effects of different species of Dioscorea, and its main constituent,

Development and Characterization of Biodegradable Films on Native and Esterified Peruvian Purple Yam (<i>Dioscorea trifida</i>) Starches and Tara Gum. [PDF]

Polymers (Basel)
The aim was to evaluate if purple yam starch esterification with octenyl succinic anhydride (PYS-OSA) enhances the properties of purple yam starch (PYS)-based films in a blend with tara gum (TG). PYS was isolated from purple yam tubers (PYTs) with distilled water; then, starch was dual-modified by ultrasound (as a pretreatment) and esterification (PYS ...
