  • An Underutilized Orphan Tuber Crop—Chinese Yam : a Review
    Planta (2020) 252:58 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00425-020-03458-3 REVIEW An underutilized orphan tuber crop—Chinese yam : a review Janina Epping1 · Natalie Laibach2 Received: 29 March 2020 / Accepted: 11 September 2020 / Published online: 21 September 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract Main conclusion The diversifcation of food crops can improve our diets and address the efects of climate change, and in this context the orphan crop Chinese yam shows signifcant potential as a functional food. Abstract As the efects of climate change become increasingly visible even in temperate regions, there is an urgent need to diversify our crops in order to address hunger and malnutrition. This has led to the re-evaluation of neglected species such as Chinese yam (Dioscorea polystachya Turcz.), which has been cultivated for centuries in East Asia as a food crop and as a widely-used ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine. The tubers are rich in nutrients, but also contain bioactive metabolites such as resistant starches, steroidal sapogenins (like diosgenin), the storage protein dioscorin, and mucilage polysaccharides. These health-promoting products can help to prevent cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and disorders of the gut microbiome. Whereas most edible yams are tropical species, Chinese yam could be cultivated widely in Europe and other temperate regions to take advantage of its nutritional and bioactive properties. However, this is a laborious process and agronomic knowledge is fragmented. The underground tubers contain most of the starch, but are vulnerable to breaking and thus difcult to harvest. Breeding to improve tuber shape is complex given the dioecious nature of the species, the mostly vegetative reproduction via bulbils, and the presence of more than 100 chromosomes.

  • Chinese Yam Alert! Dioscorea Oppositifolia L
    THE NATURAL AREAS ASSOCIATION ISSUES Chinese Yam Alert! Dioscorea oppositifolia L. (syn. D. batatas Decne.) is a herbaceous perennial vine in the yam family native to Asia. Two common names for this species are CHINESE YAM and CINNAMON VINE. It was introduced into the United States for ornamental value and also as a potential food source. Chinese yam is widespread throughout the eastern United States and ranges from Vermont south to Georgia and west to Oklahoma and Texas. There are several characteristics that make identification of this species fairly easy: Stems: The vines twine from left to right (counterclockwise) and are angled. Leaves: The leaf shape is variable, but the two most common shapes are hastate and ovate. Leaf arrangement is usually opposite, but the upper nodes may be alternate. There is usually a reddish- purple color at the junction of the petiole and blade. Bulbils: Aerial tubers, called bulbils, are usually present during the summer months, June-September. Bulbils are produced in the leaf axis and resemble miniature potatoes. Flowers: Produced from June-August, are white, in spikes, and often have a cinnamon fragrance. Habit: The plants often form dense mat-like colonies and are most often observed along roadsides, at old homesites and fencerows, and in alluvial soil along streams. Chinese yam has the potential to become a major pest plant in the United States due to its rapid growth and prolific reproduction. This species is considered to be highly invasive and can infest even the most pristine habitats, particularly along riparian corridors. Vines begin growth in April from large, underground, vertically oriented tubers.

Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 25 June 2018 doi:10.20944/preprints201806.0398.v1 Abstract: The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of rhizome extract of Dioscorea batatas (Dioscoreae Rhizoma, Chinese Yam) and its bioactive compound, allantoin, on myoblast differentiation and mitochondrial biogenesis in skeletal muscle cells. Yams were extracted in water and the extract was analyzed by HPLC. The expression of C2C12 myotubes differentiation and mitochondrial biogenesis regulators were determined by reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR or Western blot. The glucose levels and total ATP contents were determined by glucose consumption, glucose uptake and ATP assays, respectively. Treatment with yam extract (1 mg/mL) and allantoin (0.2 and 0.5 mM) significantly increased of MyHC expression compared with non-treated myotubes.

  • Granule Structural, Crystalline, and Thermal Changes in Native Chinese Yam Starch After Hydrolysis with Two Different Enzymes–A-Amylase and Gluco-Amylase

Yam starch was digested by a-amylase and gluco- Accepted: September 23, 2010 amylase for different lengths of time, respectively, and two different enzymatic hydrolysis results were compared. The most notable phenomenon revealed by SEM after a-amylase hydrolysis was the formation of the cavum in the center of the starch granules, while after gluco-amylase hydrolysis, the outer layer of the granules was peeled off and then some granules even broke into pieces. The XRD of the two enzyme hydrolyzed starches revealed the crystal type of the starch changed from typical C-type XRD pattern to the representative A-type pattern in the process of enzymatic hydrolysis. The above results also demonstrated that the partially B-type polymorph was more easily degraded than A-type. The thermal result showed that the modified yam starches by both enzymes exhibited increased peak gelatinization temperatures (Tp) and decreased gelatinization enthalpy (DH).

  • Effect of Seed Tuber Weights on the Development of Tubers
    J. Japan. Soc. Hort. Sci. 76 (3): 230–236. 2007. Available online at www.jstage.jst.go.jp/browse/jjshs JSHS © 2007 Effect of Seed Tuber Weights on the Development of Tubers and Flowering Spikes in Japanese Yams (Dioscorea japonica) Grown under Different Photoperiods and with Plant Growth Regulators Yasunori Yoshida1*, Harumi Takahashi1, Hiroomi Kanda1 and Koki Kanahama2 1Akita Prefectural College of Agriculture, Ohgata, Akita 010–0451, Japan 2Faculty of Agriculture, Tohoku University, Aobaku, Sendai 981–8555, Japan The effect of seed tuber (ST) weight on the development of main shoots, aerial tubers (bulbils, AT), new tubers (below ground, NT), and flowering spikes (inflorescences) was examined in Japanese yam plants (Dioscorea japonica) grown under different photoperiods and with plant growth regulators (PGRs). Within the same PGR and ST-weight group, the main shoot lengths of plants grown under a 24-h photoperiod (constant light, LD) were found to be longer than those grown under an 8-h photoperiod (SD) in all seasons. Furthermore, within the same photoperiod and ST-weight group, except for the plants grown from 25 g of ST (25gST plants) under SD conditions, the main shoot lengths of control and gibberellic acid (GA3)-treated plants were found to be longer than those of uniconazole-P (Uni)-treated plants. These tendencies were stronger in the 50gST plants than in the 25gST plants. In the 25gST plants, the final fresh weight (FW) of NT and the combined FW of AT and NT were greater in plants grown under LD conditions (LD plants) than those of SD plants; however, this was not observed in the case of the 50gST plants.
