Yam (Dioscorea spp.) is a major food of cultural, economic and nutritional importance in Nigeria and throughout West Africa. In this sub-region, white yam (Dioscorea rotundata) is the most dominant and important species. This study is aimed at characterizing high yielding yam varieties of this sp...
Accurate and timely detection is vital for mitigation of tuber yield losses resulting from yam mosaic virus (YMV) infection on yam, a major food security crop in West Africa. The observation, from our previous studies, that the triple antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (TAS-ELISA...
Greater yam (Dioscorea alata L.), belonging to the family Dioscoreaceae, is a staple food crop of the tropics. It is cultivated for its edible, nutritious, underground tubers. Its productivity declined due to anthracnose disease. There was no sequence information for yam in the public database. T...
Yams (Dioscorea spp.) constitute a staple food crop for over 100 million people in the humid and subhumid tropics. They are polyploid and vegetatively propagated. The Guinea yams, Dioscorea rotundata and D. cayenensis, are the most important yams in West and Central Africa where they are indigeno...
Aims: To study yam propagation and seed yam tuber production in aeroponics system.Study Design: The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block designand treatments were replicated three times.Place of Study: This experiment was carried out at the International Institute of TropicalAg...
Dinoderus porcellus is considered as the most important pest of stored yam chips and compounds extracted from plants can be used for its control. The present study aimed to test the insecticidal and repellent activities of powders and extracts of leaves of Bridelia ferruginea, Blighia sapida, and...
At IITA, tissue culture methods, such as meristem, shoot-tip, and node-cutting cultures, are used routinely to eliminate virus infection from improved clones of cassava and yam and for micropropagating cassava, yam, sweet potato, and cocoyams. Virus-tested improved clones of cassava, yam, and swe...
A collection of 89 water yam (Dioscorea alata L.) accessions from Benin, Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Togo was assessed for genetic diversity using thirteen microsatellite loci. These 89 are some of the D. alata accessions conserved by the Inte...
