Review of empirical and emerging breeding methods and tools for yam (Dioscorea spp.) improvement: status and prospects
Yam (Dioscorea spp.) is an important tuber crop with tremendous potential as a functional food in the tropics and subtropics. However, the crop has not shown progressive productivity gain over decades due to various production constraints. This paper reviews the progress achieved in empirical breedi...
