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...

As part of a participatory selection programme, promising individual trees were selected in 2004 in cocoa farms of southern and western Cameroon regions for yield and for low incidence of Phytophthora pod rot (Ppr) caused by Phytophthora megakarya. The aim of this study was to compare the levels ...
