Breeding goals of yield increases, root quality improvement, and disease resistance in cassava are considerably slowed down by biological characteristics of the crop, which includes a long growth cycle, a heterozygous genetic background and a poor knowledge of the organization of crop diversity. ...

Genome mapping in cassava improvement: Challenges, achievements and opportunities
A preliminary linkage map of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) to increase the efficiency of introgression of specific chromosomes or chromosome fragments from exotic cassava germplasm into various genetic backgrounds and localization of genes of interest in cassava improvement schemes has been ...

A linkage map of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) based on RFLP and RAPD markers
The construction of a detailed genetic map of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) will be useful to tag agronomically important trais as well as to isolate and to clone cassava genes in the future. This map will also contribute to the understanding of cassava genomic structure and evolution. As a ...
