Digestibility of Diets Containing Cara Flour (Dioscorea trifida L.) For Laying Hens
International Journal of Poultry Science, 2015 The objective of this study was to evaluate the apparent digestibility of nutrients and metabolizable energy of diets containing cara flour using commercial laying hens. A total of 72 birds were used as Hissex White lineage at 23 weeks of age with water and food ad libitum.

Journal of Food Processing, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016 Tuberous roots of cassava and yam are major sources of dietary carbohydrate to human, alternative sources of energy in livestock feeds, and sources of starch in small‐scale industries. Investigations on amino acid profiles, total nitrogen contents, and computed‐protein efficiency ratios (C‐PER) of tuberous root peels of Manihot esculenta Crantz and ...

Development of Genomic Simple Sequence Repeat Markers for Yam
Crop Science, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 2191-2200, September-October 2015., 2015 ABSTRACT Yam (Dioscorea spp.) is a major staple crop widely cultivated for its starchy tubers. To date, very few marker resources are publicly available as tools for genetic and genomic studies of this economically important crop. In this study, 90 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were developed from an enriched genomic library of yellow Guinea yam

An Inventory of Crop Wild Relatives of the United States
Crop Science, Volume 53, Issue 4, Page 1496-1508, July-August 2013., 2013 ABSTRACT The use of crop wild relatives (CWRs) in breeding is likely to continue to intensify as utilization techniques improve and crop adaptation to climate change becomes more pressing. Significant gaps remain in the conservation of these genetic resources.

The Plant Genome, Volume 17, Issue 2, June 2024.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
