A better knowledge of traditional cultivars is a prerequisite to overcoming the various constraints of yam production in Benin. Using IPGRI's descriptors, 560 accessions of cultivated yams (D. cayenensis Lam./D. rotundata Poir. complex) collected throughout Benin, were characterised. Ninety morph...

Morphological diversity, cultivar groups and possible descent in the cultivated yams (Dioscorea cayenensis/D. rotundata) complex in Benin Republic
Based upon IBPGR (IPGRI) morphologic descriptors, 560 accessions of Benin Republic's cultivated yams (Dioscorea ccayenensis/Dioscorea rotundata complex were morphologically characterized. Ninety morphotypes were identified and accessions were classified into 26 varietal groups according to their ...
Four hundred and sixty-seven accessions of cultivated Guinea yam (Dioscorea cayenensis/Dioscorea rotundatacomplex) collected from different localities of Benin Republic were analysed to study isoenzymatic variability in seven enzyme systems: aspartate aminotransferase (AAT), esterase (EST), gluco...
