Growing virus resistant varieties is a highly effective means to avoid yield loss due to
infection by many types of virus. The challenge is to be able to detect resistance donors …

BACKGROUND Food quality traits related to the genetics of yam influence the acceptability
for its consumption. This study aimed at identifying genetic factors underlying sensory and …

Dioscorea praehensilis Benth. is a semi-wild yam species and a valuable source of
resistance trait genes. To access the agronomic and tuber quality performance, eleven …

Introduction Landraces represent a significant gene pool of African cultivated white Guinea
yam diversity. They could, therefore, serve as a potential donor of important traits such as …

Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses seriously affecting cotton yield. At present, the
main cotton-producing areas in China are primarily arid and semiarid regions. Therefore, the …

Soybean (Glycine max) productivity is significantly reduced by drought stress. Breeders are
aiming to improve soybean grain yields both under well-watered (WW) and drought-stressed …

Yam (Dioscorea spp.) is a major staple and cash crop in tropical and subtropical regions.
However, biotic (fungus, viruses, tuber rots, nematodes, insects, etc.) and abiotic stresses …

Yam (Dioscorea spp.) is a staple food crop with cultural, nutritional and economic
significance for millions of small-scale farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. While various virus …

Yams (Dioscorea spp.) possess the potential to contribute to food security and poverty
alleviation in DR Congo; however, yam production is limited by several constraints …

Introduction Bush yam (Dioscorea praehensilis Benth.) is an important semi-domesticated
food crop in West Africa. Limited information on the genetic architecture and its poor post …
