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...

Genetic engineering and biotechnology are providing new tools for genetic improvement of food crops. Molecular DNA markers are some of these tools which can be used in various fields of plant breeding and germplasm management. For example, molecular markers have used to confirm the identity of hy...

The ploidy level of ninety Guinea yam (Dioscorea Cayenesis/D. rotundata complex) cultivars identified within Benin were determined by both chromosome counting from root tip cells and flow cytometry. Three different ploidy levels (4x,6x,8x,) were detected among the samples. Eighty cultivars were t...

Four forms of Colletotrichum representing three distinct virulence phenotypes were found associated with foliar anthracnose of yam in Nigeria: the highly virulent (= severity of disease) slow-growing grey (SGG); the moderately virulent fast-growing salmon (FGS); the weakly virulent fast-growing g...

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...

Field studies were conducted to evaluate the segregation of the F3 (early generation) and F6 (late generation) families for seed weight, pod length and days to flowering among cowpea inter-sub-specific crosses. A wide range of segregants were provided in this cross and families were highly signif...
Des études en champs ont été conduites pour évaluer la ségrégation des familles en F3 (jeune génération) et F6 (génération avancée) quant au poids des graines, la longueur de la gousse et le nombre de jours à la floraison chez des sous-espèces de niébé croisées. Une large gamme de lignées ségréga...
