Reliable characterization of the variation among wild and cultivated yams in Nigeria is essential for improved management and efficient utilization of yam genetic resources. RAPD and double stringency PCR (DS-PCR) analyses were used to investigate genetic relationships and the extent of redundanc...

A randomised complete block experiment was conducted in the 1998 and 1999 cropping seasons in five major yam growing areas in the yam belt of Nigeria to evaluate the performance and yield stability of six genotypes of water yarn (Dioscorea alata L). Location, genotype and their interaction effect...

Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz., is the most severe foliar disease of water yam (Dioscorea alata) worldwide. Population genetic analyses can yield useful insights into the evolutionary potential of C. gloeosporioides and thus lead to the development of appropriate dise...

Growth of varieties of Dioscorea alata and D. rotundata were stunted when they were grown in nutrient solutions containing 5 to 60 mg l−1 Fe. In D. alata variety TDa 95/00361, plants grown in 60 mg l−1 Fe solution exhibited reductions of 29–65% in plant height, leaf length and width, number of le...

Low efficiency of available screening procedures constrains breeding and selection of yams (Dioscorea spp.) towards high textural quality of food products made from their tubers. This study was undertaken to determine the potential usefulness of pasting characteristics of fresh yams as rapid indi...

Nineteen white yam (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.) genotypes were grown in four agroecological zones in Nigeria for 2 years to study their responses to yam virus diseases, and to investigate the influence of genotype × environment (G × E) interactions on their reactions to virus infection, using the ...

Studies were made to identify sources of resistance to yam viruses in Dioscorea alata. Forty genotypes of D. alata were evaluated in both the field and in the screenhouse for reactions to the yam viruses: Yam mosaic virus (YMV), genus Potyvirus; Dioscorea alata virus (DAV), genus Potyvirus; Cucum...

Cultivar evaluation and mega-environment identification are the most important objectives of multi-environment trials (MET). The objective of this study was to assess the effect of genotype and genotype x environment interaction on the tuber yield of 18 yellow yam (D. cayenensis L.) genotypes via...

This study examined the dynamics of fresh yam tuber prices and applied a hedonic pricing model to estimate the market values of tuber characteristics in two consumption centers in Togo. Real prices were modeled as a function of variables measuring yam species, physical attributes of tuber, origin...
