A single molecular marker to distinguish between species of Dioscorea.

Genome - 1 Mar 2017

Techen Natascha, Parveen Iffat, Khan Ikhlas A

Abstract excerpt

Yams are species of the genus Dioscorea (family Dioscoreaceae), which consists of approximately 630 species. The majority of the world production of yams occurs in Africa with 58.8 million t annually, but they are also produced in the Americas and Asia. The saponins in yams have been reported to possess various properties to improve health. The tuber and aerial parts of various species often share morphological...
