Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity and population differentiation of traditional fonio millet (Digitaria spp.) landraces from different agro-ecological zones of West Africa
H. Adoukonou-Sagbadja,H. Adoukonou-Sagbadja,Carola Wagner,Alexandre Dansi,Jutta Ahlemeyer,O. Dainou,Koffi Akpagana,Frank Ordon,Wolfgang Friedt +8 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the genetic diversity and population differentiation in fonio millets found a clear-cut differentiation between the two species and a clustering of D. exilis accessions in three major genetic groups fitting to their geographical origins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Farmers' use of wild relative and sexual reproduction in a vegetatively propagated crop. The case of yam in Benin.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the impact of ennoblement of spontaneous yams, an original traditional farmers' practice, on the genetic diversity of yam (Dioscorea sp.) in Benin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Segregation patterns of isozyme loci and microsatellite markers show the diploidy of African yam Dioscorea rotundata (2n=40)
TL;DR: Analysis of segregation of two isozyme loci and six microsatellite markers in the progeny of a self-fertilised monoecious plant led to the conclusion that D. rotundata is a diploid species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of cpSSRs for the characterisation of yam phylogeny in Benin.
TL;DR: To study patterns of yam evolution and to establish phylogenetic relationships existing between wild and cultivated species sampled in Benin, changes in chloroplast DNA simple sequence repeats (cpSSR) in 148 yam accessions were investigated to cover the wider possible genetic diversity existing in the country.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity analysis of yam cultivars (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.) in Benin using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers
Serge Tostain,Clément Agbangla,Nora Scarcelli,Cédric Mariac,O. Dainou,Julien Berthaud,Jean-Louis Pham +6 more
TL;DR: Cultivars from northern Benin and early cultivars had the greatest allelic richness and SSR markers proved to be powerful tools for fingerprinting each cultivar and analysing their genetic relationships.
