[HTML][HTML] Agronomic and hormonal approaches for enhancing flowering intensity in white Guinea yam (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.)
Developing novel white Guinea yam (Dioscorea rotundata) varieties is constrained by the
sparse, erratic, and irregular flowering behavior of most genotypes. We tested the …
