To induce sprouting two gibberellin inhibitors, uniconazole-P (UP) and prohexadione-calcium (PC), were applied to foliage of white Guinea yam (Dioscorea rotundata) and water yam (D. alata) 30 days before harvest or to tubers at harvest. The tuber sprouting period was shortened by about 35 days in...

This study investigated pasting and sensory characteristics of Dioscorea?alata, an underutilized yam species, to ascertain its suitability for amala (a pasty yam product) in comparison with D.?rotundata. Pasting was determined by Rapid Visco-Analyser and the amala was prepared from parboiled and ...

Yam is the third most important root and tuber crop in the tropics but few species are grown as health food and/or for medicinal purposes. To ascertain the potential health benefits and alternate usage of the species, 20 varieties of Dioscorea alata (water yam) were investigated for their total d...

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...

Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, is one of the major constraints limiting water yam (Dioscorea alata) production in the tropics. In this region, yam anthracnose control is mostly achieved by the deployment of moderately resistant yam genotypes. Therefore, screening for new s...

Progress is being made at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture to develop molecular tools for marker-assisted selection that would complement and expedite conventional breeding approaches for genetic improvement of yams (Dioscorea spp.). F mapping populations 1 were developed from ...

The performance of 5 promising pre-release hybrid water yam (D. alata) varieties (TDa 98/01166; TDa 98/01176; TDa 98/01168; TDa 99/91169; and TDa 99/00240) evaluated for high and stable yields, pest and disease resistance and desirable food qualities, was determined in 2004 and 2005 in 6 location...

Sixty-day-old plants of white Guinea yam (Dioscorea rotundata), water yam (D. alata) and yellow Guinea yam (D. cayenensis) were exposed to 10 h day lengths (short days) for 15 and 30 days. Short-day treatment applied at the early growth stage of yams promoted the enlargment of tubers, but the res...

The responses of 24 white yam (Dioscorea rotundata) cultivars to mechanical and vector transmission with each of three viruses infecting yams were assessed through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and symptom development. The viruses were Dioscorea alata virus (DAV), genus Potyvirus; Dio...
