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...

Genotype x environment interaction in water yam (Dioscorea alata) yield trials in five yamgrowing sites in Nigeria
Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers were employed to assess intraspecific variability in water yam (Dioscorea alata L.). Fifty-three accessions of diverse geographic origins in West and Central Africa (Benin, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria and Chad) and Puerto Rico were analysed ...

AFLP marker diversity in water yam (Dioscorea alata L.)
Poor reproductive development in yams (Dioscorea spp.) has often been attributed to the polyploid nature of the crop. In this study, flow cytometry was used to determine the ploidy level of 53 accessions of Dioscorea alata, mostly from West African countries, Chad and Puerto Rico. Nuclei were iso...

Evaluation of the performance of five hybrid water yam clones in the yam belt of Nigeria
The AMMI model combines regular analysis of variance for additive main effects with principal component analysis for multiplicative structure within the interaction. It also improves the accuracy of crop yield estimates and selects genotypes with highest yields. Despite knowledge of the model, po...

Il améliore aussi l’estimation des rendements et la sélection des génotypes à haut rendement. En dépit de la ...
