Autor: Thakkar, S.K. Maziya-Dixon, B.B. Dixon, A. Failla, M.L.

Cassava, a staple food in sub-Saharan Africa, does not provide adequate amounts of pro-vitamin A (VA) carotenoids and has been targeted for biofortification (i.e. selectively breeding cultivars of increased nutrient density with agroeconomically acceptable characteristics). However, the accessibi...
