Nodal “Pico de Botella” yam segments (Dioscorea alata L.) were cultured in tuberisation médium (TM) following Mantell and Hugo's technique (1989). This was supplemented with 0.1 mg/L thiamine, 100 mg/L myoinositol, 20 mg/L L-cystein, 1 g/L activated charcoal and 0.8% agar at pH 5.8 to evaluate the effects of the photoperiod (8 and 16 hours), sucrose (3, 6 and 9%), kinetin (0.0,1.5 and 2.5 μM) and abscisic acid (0.0,1.0 and 2.0μM) on micro-tuber production. A randomised split-plot experiment was carried out. Data analysed by ANOVA revealed that those factors evaluated had a substantial effect on micro-tuber induction, formation and development. The highest number of micro-tubers was obtained in an 8-hour photoperiod when treated with 1.5μM k...
