Yams (Dioscorea species of family Dioscoreaceae) are important for food, income, and sociocultural activities especially in West and Central Africa and account for about 93% of the world’s annual production of 38 million tonnes. Breeding of yams is focused primarily on the two dominant species, D...

Viruses of the genera Potyvirus, Potexvirus, Badnavirus, Cucumovirus, and Carlavirus infect yams of different species worldwide. These viruses cause a range of symptoms including mosaics, mottle, vein clearing, chlorosis, stunting, and distortion. These lead to a chronic and sometimes severe dise...

Development of core collection representing the diversity in the entire germplasm creates a better access and enhanced utilization of the main collection thus allowing rapid evaluation in crop improvement programs. Core collections are dynamic in nature and needs revisiting when additional germpl...

In variety development, sensory evaluation is not only the most important hurdle after all the necessary agronomic characteristics have been developed but also a major determinant of acceptability of the variety, as well as a major determinant in the subsequent adoption and use of the variety. Ei...


Otoo, E.Asiedu, Robert[Sensory evaluation: the last hurdle in varietal development of yams (Dioscorea rotundata, poir) in Ghana]Sensory evaluation: the last hurdle in varietal development of yams (Dioscorea rotundata, poir) in Ghana

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of some root - promoting substances on rooting andmini tuber formation using vine cuttings obtained from two genotypes (TDr 335 and TDr 93 - 49) of whiteyam (D. rotundata). The ashes were obtained from rice straw, bamboo, Gliricidia sepium, dry leav...
