Yam mosaic virus (YMV), genus Potyvirus; family Potyviridae is the most important virus infecting Dioscorea spp. in the tropics. It induces a variety of symptoms ranging from mild mosaic on leaves of infected plants to stunted growth. Field and laboratory studies were conducted in Nigeria to iden...

Evaluation of resistance to yam mosaic virus (YMV), genus Potyvirus in white yam (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.)
Nineteen white yam (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.) genotypes were grown in four agroecological zones in Nigeria for 2 years to study their responses to yam virus diseases, and to investigate the influence of genotype × environment (G × E) interactions on their reactions to virus infection, using the ...

Reaction of white guinea yam (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.) genotypes to virus diseases in four agroecological zones in Nigeria
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...
