Genetic variability for yield and nutritional quality in yam bean (Pachyrhizus sp.)
The amount of genotypic and phenotypic variability that exists in a species is important for selection and initiating breeding programs. Yam bean is grown locally in tropical countries of the Americas and Asia for their tasty storage roots, which usually have low dry matter content. The crop was...
