Starchy shells: Residue analysis of precolonial northern Caribbean culinary practices

Archaeometry, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 362-380, April 2020., 2020
Determining culinary practices is critical for understanding phytocultural complexes, transported landscapes and human niche constructions. Starch analysis is an exemplary method for reconstructing human–plant dependencies. However, certain types of artefacts from the Greater Caribbean region, such as flaked lithics, lithic griddles, coral artefacts ...

Characterization and genetic diversity of Dioscorea bacilliform viruses present in a Pacific yam germplasm collection

Plant Pathology, Volume 69, Issue 3, Page 576-584, April 2020., 2020
The Pacific yam germplasm collection was screened for badnavirus infection using RCA and sequencing, with 35 out of 224 accessions testing positive and two virus species identified, namely DBALV and DBALV2. Abstract Yam is an important food staple in many Pacific Island countries, but its production is limited by several factors including virus ...
