A genetic linkage map of cassava has been constructed with 132 RFLPs, 30 RAPDs, 3 microsatellites, and 3 isoenzyme markers segregating from the heterozygous female parent of an intraspecific cross. The F1 cross was made between ‘TMS 30572’ and ‘CM?2177-2’, elite cassava cultivars from Nigeria and...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) germplasm collections are conventionally maintained by continuous vegetative propagation in the field. Tissue culture techniques provide a more convenient way to conserve germplasm. The cassava in vitro gene bank held in trust at CIAT comprises nearly 6000 acces...

Stability of cassava plants at the DNA level after retrieval from 10 years of in vitro storage
Transgenic plants of cassava (Manihot esculenta) resistant to the herbicide Basta were obtained through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The plants also expressed the uidA gene and two were positive for PCR- and/or Southern-based detection of the nptII gene. Somatic-embryo-derived cotyledon...

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. ...

In large ex situ germplasm collections, such as that maintained at CIAT for cassava, it is common to observe duplicates. The presence of duplicate clones increases the cost of conservation without contributing to representation or the available genetic base for crop improvement. To identify group...

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was performed on three F1 populations obtained from intraspecific controlled crosses of cassava. Segregation of the RAPD fragments was analyzed to determine if these can serve as genetic markers in cassava for subsequent use in linkage analysis. Se...

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 ...
