Plant tissue culture includes a wide range of techniques: protoplast, cell, anther, callus, meristem and organ culture, all having one common factor: the growth of vegetative material in an aseptic environment; i,e., the sterilized culture medium in test tubes. In spite of the fact that several o...
Methods of vegetative reproduction are discussed using the results obtained with cassava and potato. Results of clone cleaning by heat therapy and in vitro meristem culture are given. Two methods for rapid cassava multiplication are proposed: by sprouts from cuttings and single leaf cuttings, whi...

Cassava Program Annual Reports - Informes Anuales Programa de Yuca: 1976-2008
CIAT`s contribution to this joint research program was (1) to develop a technique for the production of bacteria-free planting stocks of cassava and (2) to study the effect of physical therapeutic agents on vegetative material used for propagation. The propagation technique developed to produce C...

Inactivation of pathogenic organisms of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) by heat and other treatments
The most important bacterial disease of cassava is cassava bacterial blight (CBB). This disease was first recorded in Brazil but was later reported in Colombia and observed in several other countries in South America and Africa. Symptoms of this disease are leaf spotting, wilting, dieback and gum...
