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...

Incorrect labeling of cocoa accessions is a significant that has hindered the efficient conservation and use of cocoa germplasm. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), together with the international collaborating institutions, has undertaken a program to identify the cocoa genotypes...

Theobroma cacao L. with its center of diversity in Central and South America was first introduced to West Africa in the mid-19th century and today the region produces 70% of the world's cocoa. Several distinct cocoa types have been introduced, cultivated, and intercrossed across the region. Also,...
