Mass-propagation of Yacon (Polymnia sonchifolia) by repeated node culture.
Plant tissue culture letters, 1990 Mass-propagation of Yacon (Polymnia sonchifolia) was investigated by using the in vitro node culture method. Continuous axillary shoot formation was achieved by repeating node culture every 4-5 weeks in a MS medium supplemented with 0.1mg/l BA. Roots were formed from all the shoots within 2 weeks in this MS medium.

Extração e pré-tratamento químico de frutanos de Yacon, Polymnia sonchifolia [PDF]
Ciência e Tecnologia de Alimentos, 2005 The process of disintegration of yacon roots promotes the oxygen incorporation that favors the phenolic oxidation and current contamination of the aqueous extract with undesirable colors and scents that damage its use. This work aims at verifying the simplified methodology of extraction of the prejent carbohydrates in the yacon roots and to make a ...

In Vitro Propagation of Jícama (Polymnia sonchifolia Poeppig & Endlicher): A Neglected Andean Crop [PDF]
HortScience, 1994 Polymnia sonchifolia, a Composite commonly referred to as jicama, yacon, or aricoma, is an Andean distant relative of the sunflower. Jicama is grown for its edible tubers that usually are eaten raw. Its flavor has been described as similar to a fresh-picked apple with a sweet taste reminiscent of watermelon (National Research Council, 1989).

Activity of the aqueous extract from Polymnia sonchifolia leaves on growth and production of aflatoxin B1 by Aspergillus flavus [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2001 The aqueous extract from Polymnia sonchifolia leaves (AE) was tested for inhibitory activity on aflatoxin B1(AFB1) production and growth of Aspergillus flavus. The cytotoxicity of AE on Vero cells was also performed. Suspensions of A. flavus spores were inoculated into 50 mL of YES medium together with different concentrations of the AE.
