Although yam is a very important crop with the potential to address future food insecurity resulting from challenges due to climate change and increasing world population, its potential has largely remained unexploited in ...

Assessing the genetic diversity of yam germplasm from different geographical origins for cultivation and breeding purposes is an essential step for crop genetic resource conservation and genetic improvement, especially ...

A proper understanding of the diversity of the available germplasm is an initial step for the genetic improvement of a crop through breeding. However, there is limited information on the diversity of Uganda’s yam germplasm. ...

Often, yam cultivars grown in different agro-ecologies show differential responses across production environments, a term known as "genotype-by-environment interaction. Such genotype-by-environment interaction makes the ...
