Effect of various growth regulators on growth of yam (Dioscorea trifida L.) in vitro shoot tips
In this work, we observed the effect of hormonal content of four culture media on the growth of Dioscorea trifida shoot tips. Medium S included 0.6 µM 6-benzylaminopurine, 1.07 µM naphthalene acetic acid, and 0.23 µM gibberellic acid (GA3), medium EBR 0.1 µM 24-Epibrassinolide and 0.23 µM GA3, medium T 25 μM meta-topolin and 0.23 µM GA3 and medium ZR ...

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