Cassava is an ideal vehicle for delivering provitamin A carotenoids to human populations affected by deficiency of this important micronutrient. Rapid cycling recurrent selection has proven to be very effective increasing carotenoids levels in cassava. The maximum level of total carotenoids incre...

Cassava (manioc, yuca, or mandioca; Manihot esculenta Crantz, Euphorbiaceae) is an important cash crop and food crop of resource-limited farmers in Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean. The storage roots are utilised either fresh, as in the case of sweet cultivars low in cyanogenic g...

Breeding cassava relies on a phenotypic recurrent selection that takes advantage of the vegetative propagation of this crop. Successive stages of selection (single row trial- SRT; preliminary yield trial – PYT; advanced yield trial – AYT; and uniform yield trials UYT), gradually reduce the number...

Two new mutant cassava starches with extreme amylose contents (0 and 30 31%) have been recently reported. These mutants are drastically different from normal cassava starch whose amylose content typically ranges between 15 and 25%. The new mutants were compared with five normal cassava starches (...

Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is a preventable tragedy that affects millions of people, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. A large proportion of these people rely on diets based on cassava as a source of calories. During the last two decades, significant efforts have been made to identify sources o...
