This manual describes the yam in vitro genebanking process set up by IITA.
Within the last 3 years, this process has been successfully used to duplicate over 1000 accessions of yam from field to in vitro culture.
Research is still going on to optimise yam in vitro genebanking, especially at meristeming level.
The manual also describes minimum requirements in terms of equipment and consumables for yam in vitro propagation and
genebanking.
