Four hundred and sixty-seven accessions of cultivated Guinea yam (Dioscorea cayenensis/Dioscorea rotundatacomplex) collected from different localities of Benin Republic were analysed to study isoenzymatic variability in seven enzyme systems: aspartate aminotransferase (AAT), esterase (EST), gluco...

A genetic linkage map of the tetraploid white yam (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.) was constructed based on 341 co-dominantly scored amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers segregating in an intraspecific F1 cross. The F1 mapping population was produced by crossing a landrace cultivar TD...

Yam mosaic virus (YMV) causes the most-widespread and economically important viral disease affecting white yam (Dioscorea rotundata) in West Africa. The genetic basis of resistance in white yam to a Nigerian isolate of YMV was investigated in three tetraploid D. rotundata genotypes: TDr 93–1, TDr...

The unavailability of good quality seed yams (Dioscorea rotundata Poir) is frequently cited to be responsible for the slow rate of growth or decline in yam production. Current production and storage practices, as well as quality of seed yams in 35 villages of Oyo North, Asaba, Lokoja, and Lafia a...

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 ...

Tuber of most varieties of white Guinea yam, Dioscorea rotundata Poir., produce a single sprout in the proximal region after the break dormancy. The location and pattern of sprout formation on intact tubers of a multiple sprouting variety, Pepa were studied. Only 0.4% of the tubers had a single s...

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...

In the present study, in vitro ovule culture technique was used to obtain interspecific cross combination of Dioscorea rotundata ufenyi and Dioscorea bulbifera wild. Ten days after pollination, ovules were excised and cultured onto 1/2 strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium (Basal salt mixture ...

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...

The response of yam (Dioscorea) cultivars to artificial and natural infections with minisett rot pathogens was investigated. None of the 20 yam cultivars were resistant to Sclerotium rolfsii [Corticium rolfsii] or Trichoderma longibrachyatum. Cultivars TDa 84/093, 85/236, 85/257, TDr 608, 745, 81...
