Abstract excerpt
Cryopreservation of yams (Dioscorea spp.) is important for the preservation of valuable genotypes for food, medicine and breeding purposes. This study on four species of yams was conducted to evaluate the influence of cold acclimation in an alternating 5 degree C and 28 degree C, 12 h thermo-photo-period and of two sucrose concentrations in the preculture medium using a modified droplet method. Acclimation of a...
