Under natural day length the male varieties flowered earlier than the female. Short day-length delayed and reduced the intensity of development of inflorescences, but the response to the 14 h and 24 h treatments differed between the varieties.Limited Accessdioscorea rotundataphotoperiodinflorescencefloweringspikesyamsEffect of photoperiod on the development of inflorescences in white Guinea yam (Dioscorea rotundata)Journal Article
