- Title
Right handed Dioscorea alata: Reversered and Vertically grown: Stem Anatomy and Yield.
- Authors
Bahadur, Bir; Narsaiah, G.
- Abstract
This paper high lights the stem internode anatomy of rignt handed Dioscorea alata, induced or reversed and vertically grown with the support of bamboos. Comparative anatomical structural changes in relation to habit, vis-a-vis yield of tubers and changes in various amino acids patterns due to change in habit are discussed. Darwin first studied climbing plants over a century back and there is need to review the plant biomechanics of the right and left twining species and induced twining since tuberous Dioscorea species are next to cereals and pulses as food source.
