Ashdod Yam
Ashdod-Yam (lit. "Ashdod on the Sea" in Hebrew) is an archaeological site on the Mediterranean coast of Israel. It is located in the southern part of the modern city of Ashdod, and about 5 kilometres northwest of Tel Ashdod where Ashdod stood in the time of the Philistines. Ashdod on the Sea and (inland) Ashdod were for most of their history two separate entities, connected though by close ties with each other. At different times in history one of the two twin towns would gain the upper hand over the other. There is more on the two towns and their interaction in the Ashdod article. Most of the area has not been excavated yet and is covered by sand dunes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashdod-Sea Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab

tci20100925 - Yam counting
<p>This is a recording of a public yam counting ritual in Rouku village, Western Province, Papua New Guinea. The counting of crops took place in preparation of wedding. The wedding feast took place in Morehead/Garaita later in the year. Several clans from Rouku contributed their share of yams. Two days later the crop was transported to Morehead and other clans their share.</p> <p>AN EXCERPT OF THIS DATASET CAN BE STREAMED AT VIMEO: <a href="https://vimeo.com/21058525">https://vimeo.com/21058525</a></p> <p>The material was recorded by Christian Döhler as part of a language documentation project for his PhD.

Yam genomics supports West Africa as a major cradle of crop domestication
<p>167 yam samples were fully resequenced (WGS, Illumina HiSeq) and mapped (BWA) to the Dioscorea rotundata genome (BDMI01000001.1 to BDMI01000021.1). Calling_ALL_Rotundata_Allc05.vcf.gz is the result of the SNP calling (GATK). See associated publication for details;</p>
Unravelling the genetic diversity of water yam (Dioscorea alata L.) accessions from Tanzania using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers
<p><span>Water yam</span><span> (<em>Dioscorea alata</em></span><span> L.) is among the most cultivated species used as a source of food and income for small-scale farmers in Tanzania. However, little is documented about <em>Dioscorea</em> species available in Tanzania, including their genetic diversity. This study used ten polymorphic microsatellite markers to determine the genetic diversity and relationship of 63 <em>D. alata</em> accessions from six major producing regions. Results revealed a polymorphic information content (PIC) of 0.63, while the number of alleles per locus ranged from 4 to 12 with a mean of 7.60. The expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.17 to 0.74, with a mean of 0.49, which suggests moderate genetic diversity of <em>D. alata</em> accessions. Kagera region had the highest mean number of (1.5) private alleles. Analysis of molecular variance revealed that 91% of the variation was attributed to within-population while among-population contributed 9% of the total variation. The highest Nei's genetic distance (0.65) was for accessions sampled from Arusha and Mtwara regions. Principal coordinate analysis and cluster analysis using Unweighted Paired Group Method using Arithmetic (UPGMA) grouped <em>D. alata</em> accessions into two major clusters regardless of geographical origin and local names. The Bayesian structure analysis confirmed the two clusters obtained in UPGMA and revealed an admixture of <em>D. alata</em> accessions in all six regions suggesting farmers' extensive exchange of planting materials. These results are helpful in the selection of <em>D. alata</em> accessions for breeding programs in Tanzania.</span></p>

FIG. 2 in A new edible yam (Dioscorea L.) species endemic to Mayotte, new data on D. comorensis R.Knuth and a key to the yams of the Comoro Archipelago
FIG. 2. — Vegetative and male reproductive morphology in Dioscorea mayottensis Wilkin: A, habit, showing the leaves and male inflorescences with alternate, regularly distributed cymules; B, a node, showing the stem, petiole and inflorescence base, an axillary bud, and the lateral nodal spines; C, a cymule of the male inflorescence, showing the two cymule bracts, floral bracts, three flowers at anthesis with long pedicels and the anthers at the torus mouth, and three in bud where the pedicels are still developing. The first flower of the cymule appears solitary because the first branch of the cymule is too short to see; D, a half-flower showing the torus shape, three tepals, the pistillode and the stamens with contorted to coiled filaments. Drawn from Mas 64 by Lucy Smith. Scale bar: A, 2.5 cm; B, C, 3 mm; D, 1 mm.
