Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is the main starchy staple in many parts of Cameroon, with 80% of rural and urban households consuming cassava and cassava derived products on a daily basis. Cassava products are commercialized mostly to supply household consumer markets with a total estimated e...

The initiative of cassava value chain in West Africa has provided sustainable opportunity for transferring best bet agronomic, processing and marketing practices to less privileged small holder enterprises in Nigeria, Benin and Sierra Leone. This project which started 2008, sponsored by Common Fu...

The effects of steaming (10min, 20min and 30min) on the properties of sour cassava starch bread were evaluated. Properties examined include pH, moisture content, protein, ash, starch, sugar, amylose content and sensory analysis. Amylose content ranged between (14.04-15.73%), Amylopectin ranged be...

In a bid to fast-track the process of selection of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) genotypes resistant to the cassava mosaic disease (CMD), caused by whitefly-transmitted begomoviruses, a number of molecular markers have been developed to map resistance genes. The simple sequence repeat (SSR) ...

Discovery of single nucleotide polymorphisms, (SNPs) as a tool in marker-assisted breeding of cassava, Manihot esculenta was studied. The principal objective of this study is to discover single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in some panels of elite lines (ELs) of cassava and in some mapping popu...

The historical view of cassava as “a poor man crop” in Africa has long limited efforts to fully exploit its commercial potential as raw material in the production of food, feed and industrial products. This situation is now changing, led by special projects which promote cassava-based agric busin...
