Yam (Dioscoreaspp.) is a primary agricultural commodity and a traditional staple food over much of West and Central Africa, where it is highly profitable both for producers and traders especially when production and storage strategies are successful in securing the supply of urban markets through...

Yams (Dioscorea species of family Dioscoreaceae) are important for food, income, and sociocultural activities especially in West and Central Africa and account for about 93% of the world’s annual production of 38 million tonnes. Breeding of yams is focused primarily on the two dominant species, D...

In variety development, sensory evaluation is not only the most important hurdle after all the necessary agronomic characteristics have been developed but also a major determinant of acceptability of the variety, as well as a major determinant in the subsequent adoption and use of the variety. Ei...

Reliable characterization of the variation among wild and cultivated yams in Nigeria is essential for improved management and efficient utilization of yam genetic resources. RAPD and double stringency PCR (DS-PCR) analyses were used to investigate genetic relationships and the extent of redundanc...

Growth of varieties of Dioscorea alata and D. rotundata were stunted when they were grown in nutrient solutions containing 5 to 60 mg l−1 Fe. In D. alata variety TDa 95/00361, plants grown in 60 mg l−1 Fe solution exhibited reductions of 29–65% in plant height, leaf length and width, number of le...

Low efficiency of available screening procedures constrains breeding and selection of yams (Dioscorea spp.) towards high textural quality of food products made from their tubers. This study was undertaken to determine the potential usefulness of pasting characteristics of fresh yams as rapid indi...

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 ...
