Yam tuber and maize grain yield response to cropping system intensification in south-west Nigeria
Textural quality of pounded yam made from tubers of Dioscorea rotundata Poir. and Dioscorea alata L. that were freshly harvested or stored for 4 months were evaluated using texture profile analysis. Significant correlations were obtained between the values for texture attributes evaluated using s...

Elasticities of demand for major food items in a root and tuberbased food system: emphasis on yam and cassava in Southeastern Nigeria: RCMP research monograph, No. 11
A total of 23 genotypes belonging to seven tropical food yams and two wild relative species of different origin and coming from two sampling ecological zones (the Republic of Benin in Africa and Guadeloupe in the Caribbean) was analysed for their 13C content. The δ13C values for all yam samples (...

A study to examine variability in susceptibility of yams to Scutellonema bradys and to identify possible sources of resistance in Ghanaian yam germplasm (Dioscorea spp.) for use in yam improvement programmes, particularly, in West Africa was undertaken. Pot and field screening methodologies were ...
Yam (Dioscorea spp.) is the second most important root and tuber crop in Africa after cassava. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between physicochemical properties of yam starch (amylose and amylopectin, swelling, solubility and water binding capacity) and the textural qualit...

Seven white yam (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.) genotypes (1 local and 6 hybrids from IITA) were evaluated in 13 environments using randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 3 replications. The environments were Fumesua (forest) from 2000 to 2004 and Wenchi (forest Guinea savannah transition) from...

The objective of this study was to quantify the effect of photoperiod on the duration from vine (shoot) emergence to flowering in white or Guinea yam (Dioscorea rotundata). The duration from vine emergence to flowering in two clonal varieties of yam (TDr 131 and TDr 99-9) was recorded at 10 diffe...
