Resistance to Yam mosaic virus (YMV) in tetraploid white yam (Dioscorea rotundata) is inherited differentially as a dominant and recessive character. Elite D. rotundata breeding lines with durable resistance to YMV can be developed by pyramiding major dominant and recessive genes using marker ass...
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...
A genetic linkage map of the tetraploid water yam (Dioscorea alata L.) genome was constructed based on 469 co-dominantly scored amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers segregating in an intraspecific F1 cross. The F1 was obtained by crossing two improved breeding lines, TDa 95/00328...
Using IPGRI's descriptors, 45 accessions of Guinea yams (Dioscorea cayenensis Lam./ Dioscorea rotundata Poir. complex) collected in Cameroon were classified into six cultivar groups based on their morphological similarities. An identification key is proposed for the cultivar groups. Six enzymatic...
Artificial feeding assays were used to study the effect of purified galactose-specific lectins from African yam beans (Sphenostylis stenocarpa) on development of larvae of the cowpea weevil, Callosobruchus maculatus (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) and the legume pod-borer, Maruca vitrata (Lepidoptera: Py...
Nine Nigerian populations of Scutellonema bradys, obtained from infected yam (Dioscorea spp.), were assessed following inoculation onto susceptible yam (Dioscorea rotundata) cv. TDr131 in pot and field experiments in Nigeria between 2002 and 2004. In addition, geographically separated populations...
Background Root and tuber crops are a major food source in tropical Africa. Among these crops are several species in the monocotyledonous genus Dioscorea collectively known as yam, a staple tuber crop that contributes enormously to the subsistence and socio-cultural lives of millions of people, p...
