- - This study investigates the genetic influences on the sensory and textural qualities of boiled and pounded yam, focusing on white Guinea yam, to enhance its acceptability for consumption.
- - Researchers conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) involving 184 yam genotypes and identified 13 significant single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers associated with quality traits, explaining a portion of the variation in these qualities.
- - Key genetic regions on chromosomes 7 and 15 were linked to quality attributes, with several genes related to carbohydrate metabolism identified, laying the groundwork for future breeding efforts using marker-assisted selection in white Guinea yam.
For two years in succession, Lagos University Teaching Hospital witnessed scarcity of Nitrous Oxide in the early two months of the year. The anaesthetic technique changed and the volume of work fell the first time scarcity was experienced. The second time, it led to innovation and diversification of anaesthetic techniques.
