Yam production is constrained by the limited availability and high cost of quality seed due to its slow vegetative propagation ratio. Micropropagation using nodal and meristem explants have been used to produce clean plantlets, with a 1:4 multiplication ratio for nodal explants and 1:1 ratio for ...

Scarcity of seed, pest and diseases are major constraints to yam production. Tissue culture techniques of meristem culture combined with heat therapy have been used to produce high-yielding virus-tested plantlets of root crops, which are later multiplied through micropropagation. However, the mic...

Yams are staples in West Africa. They are propagated from tubers in an informal seed system. This encourages a build-up of diseases, and necessitates the rapid development of a formal seed system where certified seeds are functional. Although few reports exist on the use of meristem culture to ge...
