Grant No
GS14008
Project Description
Despite the widespread cultivation of yam in West Africa, diversity from this area is still under-represented in germplasm collections. This project facilitated the collection, documentation, regeneration, and conservation of yam germplasm (cultivated and wild) to ensure the security of future breeding progress.
