Effect of Sample Preparation Methods on the Prediction Performances of Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy for Quality Traits of Fresh Yam (<i>Dioscorea</i> spp.)

High throughput techniques for phenotyping quality traits in root and tuber crops are useful in breeding programs where thousands of genotypes are screened at the early stages. This study assessed the effects of sample preparation on the prediction accuracies of dry matter, protein, and starch conte...
