Callogenèse et néoformation chez deux espèces de Dioscorea comestibles : D. alata et D. trifida [PDF]
La création d'une diversité génétique est nécessaire pour l'amélioration variétale des ignames. La sélection par hybridation est limitée par l'irrégularité ou même l'absence de fructification des clones cultivés. La régénération de cals permettait de contourner les difficultés rencontrées, soit directement par production de variants d'intérêt ...

Development and characterization of biodegradable films from fermented yam (Dioscorea trifida L. f.) [PDF]
The objective of this work was to develop and characterize biodegradable starch films at 14 and 21 days of fermentation, aiming to develop packaging with added value. For the extraction of starch, yam tubers were washed, crushed, filtered and fermented for 14 and 21 days, and then filtered and dehydrated. Water-starch-glycerol mixtures were prepared in

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

Starchy shells: Residue analysis of precolonial northern Caribbean culinary practices
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 ...
