An underutilized orphan tuber crop—Chinese yam : a review
Janina Epping,Natalie Laibach +1 more
TL;DR: This article summarizes the sparse research landscape and evaluates the nutritional and medical applications of Chinese yam to encourage the adoption of this orphan crop as a novel functional food.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome analyses reveal the hybrid origin of the staple crop white Guinea yam (Dioscorea rotundata).
Yu Sugihara,Kwabena Darkwa,Hiroki Yaegashi,Satoshi Natsume,Motoki Shimizu,Akira Abe,Akiko Hirabuchi,Kazue Ito,Kaori Oikawa,Muluneh Tamiru-Oli,Atsushi Ohta,Ryo Matsumoto,Paterne Agre,David De Koeyer,David De Koeyer,Babil Pachakkil,Shinsuke Yamanaka,Satoru Muranaka,Hiroko Takagi,Ben White,Robert Asiedu,Hideki Innan,Asrat Asfaw,Patrick Adebola,Ryohei Terauchi +24 more
TL;DR: The results suggest a hybrid origin of white Guinea yam from crosses between the wild rainforest species D. praehensilis and the savannah-adapted species Dioscorea abyssinica, and highlight the importance of wild species as gene donors for improving this crop through molecular breeding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Floral Biology and Pollination Efficiency in Yam (Dioscorea spp.)
Jean M. Mondo,Paterne Agre,Alex Edemodu,Patrick Adebola,Robert Asiedu,Malachy O. Akoroda,Asrat Asfaw +6 more
TL;DR: There are many limitations in basic and applied knowledge of yam flower biology and pollination, and methods of improving pollination efficiency in yam breeding programs are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chromosome evolution and the genetic basis of agronomically important traits in greater yam
TL;DR: In this article , the authors presented a highly contiguous chromosome-scale genome assembly of Dioscorea alata combined with a dense genetic map derived from African breeding populations, and found quantitative trait loci for resistance to anthracnose, a damaging fungal pathogen of yam.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-wide association studies for sex determination and cross-compatibility in water yam (Dioscorea alata L.)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the genome-wide association study (GWAS) approach for identifying genomic regions linked to sex and cross-compatibility in water yam (Dioscorea alata L.).

A Robust, Simple Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS) Approach for High Diversity Species
Robert J. Elshire,Jeffrey C. Glaubitz,Qi-ying Sun,Jesse Poland,Ken Kawamoto,Edward S. Buckler,Edward S. Buckler,Sharon E. Mitchell +7 more
TL;DR: A procedure for constructing GBS libraries based on reducing genome complexity with restriction enzymes (REs) is reported, which is simple, quick, extremely specific, highly reproducible, and may reach important regions of the genome that are inaccessible to sequence capture approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cpf1 is a single RNA-guided endonuclease of a class 2 CRISPR-Cas system.
Bernd Zetsche,Jonathan S. Gootenberg,Omar O. Abudayyeh,Ian Slaymaker,Kira S. Makarova,Patrick Essletzbichler,Sara E. Volz,Julia Joung,John van der Oost,Aviv Regev,Aviv Regev,Eugene V. Koonin,Feng Zhang +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterized Cpf1, a putative class 2 CRISPR effector, which is a single RNA-guided endonuclease lacking tracrRNA and utilizes a T-rich protospacer-adjacent motif.

High-fidelity CRISPR–Cas9 nucleases with no detectable genome-wide off-target effects
Benjamin P. Kleinstiver,Vikram Pattanayak,Michelle S. Prew,Shengdar Q. Tsai,Nhu T. Nguyen,Zongli Zheng,J. Keith Joung +6 more
TL;DR: With its exceptional precision, SpCas9-HF1 provides an alternative to wild-type Sp Cas9 for research and therapeutic applications and suggests a general strategy for optimizing genome-wide specificities of other CRISPR-RNA-guided nucleases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agrobacterium-Mediated Plant Transformation: the Biology behind the “Gene-Jockeying” Tool
TL;DR: Knowledge of fundamental biological principles embracing both the host and the pathogen have been and will continue to be key to extending the utility of Agrobacterium for genetic engineering purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
