Botany, domestication and physiology of the edible yam (Dioscorea alata) crop.

An extensive literature revision summarizes the most important information about domestication, adaptation, ecology, phenology, growth analysis and physiology of the edible yam crop. The study presented the Yam Sim (Yam Simulator), which is the first version of a model developed from the Simple and Universal Crop Simulator (SUCROS). The Yam Sim model is useful for simulating the growth and harvest of the edible yam (Dioscorea alata). The possible yield limitation is discusseddue to size of the watersource or the drain. The study concludes with the proposal of morpho-physiological traits of an ideotype of edible yam.

Una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura recapitula los principales antecedentes de la domesticación, adaptación, ecología, fenología, análisis del crecimiento y fisiología de la producción de los ñames comestibles. Este recorrido por la literatura conduce al Yam Sim (Yam Simulator), primera versión de un modelo desarrollado a partir del Simple and Universal Crop Simulator (SUCROS). Yam Sim es útil para simular tanto el crecimientocomo la formación de la cosecha del ñame alado (Dioscorea alata). Se discute la posible limitación del rendimiento por el tamaño de la fuente o el sumidero. Se concluye con la proposición de características morfo-fisiológicas de un idiotipo del ñame comestible.
