description Yams, belonging to Dioscorea species, are abundant in nutrients and bioactive compounds, contributing to their swiftly expanding share in the global market. Over the past 20 years, worldwide production of yams has seen a twofold increase. Particularly in Africa, yams are a staple food for millions, significantly contributing to food security and sustenance. The development of omics technologies provides an effective means for mining functional genes and exploring related molecular mechanisms in yams. This review summarizes the current research progress on the yam genome, plastome, transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome, to facilitate further genetic research and molecular breeding in yams.
