Autor: Adeniyi, O.J. Adetimirin, V.O. Ingelbrecht, I.L. Asiedu, Robert

In vitro culture media capable of regenerating moderate to high shoots and/or plantlets from meristems of two yam species – Dioscorea rotundata and Dioscorea alata within comparable duration of 10 weeks as commonly obtained in other monocots and root and tuber crops were investigated. The study c...

Dioscorea alata L. is a highly important crop, widely distributed in the humid and semi-humid tropics. Flow cytometry was used to determine the ploidy levels of 74 D. alata genotypes collected mainly from West African countries. Sixty three of the genotypes were found to be tetraploid, one was he...

A trial was conducted on-station with farmer participation at Fumesua (Forest zone), Wenchi (Forest-Savannah transition zone) and Bodwease (Coastal Savannah zone) from 2000 to 2003 and on-farm during 2002-2003. Two factors, staking and species, with two levels each were assessed using the Augment...

A major constraint facing yam producers in southeastern Nigeria is poor storage of the tubers. Farmers in the area also opine that yams grown with mineral fertilizers tend to have shorter shelf life than those grown without mineral fertilizers. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of ...

White or Guinea yam (Dioscorea rotundata), grown for its underground tubers, is an important food in West Africa. Progress in yam breeding is constrained by variable flowering behaviour, making hybridization difficult. Yam clones may be dioecious, monoecious or hermaphrodite with variable sex rat...

Cassava is the major root crop in eastern and southern Africa. It is an important source of calories for the inhabitants of such countries as Uganda, Malawi, and Mozambique. It may also be the best alternative for overcoming the food scarcities caused by frequent droughts in the region.

Anthracnose disease, caused by the pathogen Collectotrichum gloeosporioides Penz., is a serious challenge to the cultivation of Dioscorea alata, a major source of food and income for millions of farm households in the tropics. Five breeder’s lines and eighteen landraces of D. alata from IITA’s ge...

Yams (Dioscorea spp., Dioscoreaceae), grown either for their starchy tubers or medicinal properties, are important crops in the tropics and subtropics. Yams broaden the food base and provide food security and income to over 300 million people. They are vegetatively propagated and comprise both di...

Multilocational trials were conducted in several agroecological zones in West Africa to assess the magnitude of genotype x environment (G x E) interaction and to identify stable varieties which could be used in breeding programs in the region. The reaction of the varieties to major cassava diseas...

Spontaneous sexual and asexual polyploids occur in cassava. The cassava polyploid breeding strategies using these polyploidization processes are discussed. Sexual polyploidization has advantages over asexual polyploidization in terms of viability of gametes, heterosis, vigor, plant architecture, ...
