Mignouna, Djana B.Abdoulaye, TahirouAlene, A.Akinola, Adebayo A.Maroya, N.[Baseline protocols: the case of Yam Improvement for Income and Food Security in West Africa (YIIFSWA) project; YIIFSWA working paper series, No. 4]Baseline protocols: the case of Yam Improvement for Income and Food Security in West Africa (YIIFSWA) project; YIIFSWA working paper series, No. 4

Neglected by research and development, knowledge of the genetic diversity in Ethiopian yams is found mainly with the local farmers. The local yam classification system in Southern Ethiopia was studied through individual and key informant interviews. Data collected include attributes/traits of eac...


Tamiru, MBecker, H.C.Maass, Brigitte L.[Comparative analysis of morphological and farmers' cognitive diversity in yams landraces (Dioscorea spp.) from southern Ethiopia]Comparative analysis of morphological and farmers' cognitive diversity in yams landraces (Dioscorea spp.) from southern Ethiopia

A working collection of yam (Dioscoreaspp.) comprising 53 landraces and seven improved cultivars of four species (D. alata L., D. cayenensis Lam., D. dumetorum (Kunth) and D. rotundata Poir.) was evaluated for phenotypic and genetic diversity. The evaluation involved field assessment of 24 morpho...

Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is the causal agent of yam anthracnose disease in Nigeria. Differential cultivars and amplified fragment length polymorphic DNA markers were used to assess the extent of genetic diversity among 39 isolates of the pathogen. Fourteen (14) pathotypes of the pathogen we...

Published studies to date have suggested that seed-yam (Dioscorea rotundata) production in Nigeria using minisett (∼0.025 kg) technology or an adapted form of the technology using larger setts (0.08 to 0.1 kg) was not profitable. But these studies were often conducted under artificial conditions ...

Water yam (Dioscorea alata) flour was processed using standard wet milling procedure prior to the extrusion process, which led to the determination of extrudate properties of the flours.A single-screw extruder (DCE 330, NJ) was used in evaluating the extrudate properties, which included torque, m...

New seed yam systems from minisetts, minitubers and vine cuttings have been developed for yam production to supplant the traditional systems, which have proven inefficient and costly. The new techniques provide producers in tropical countries with the opportunity to minimize production costs, red...

Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, is one of the major constraints limiting water yam (Dioscorea alata) production in the tropics. In this region, yam anthracnose control is mostly achieved by the deployment of moderately resistant yam genotypes. Therefore, screening for new s...
