Harnessing modern biotechnology for tropical tuber crop improvement: yam (Dioscorea spp.) molecular breeding
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 indigenous,...
