Nine yellow root and one white root cassava genotypes were evaluated in ten environments in Ghana for the variability of their beta carotene content in root. The aim was to identify cassava genotypes that have high beta carotene content in storage root to combat the widespread vitamin A deficienc...

Ninety-eight cassava accessions were grown in augmented randomized complete block design to screen for superior clones with desirable traits. The desirable traits were root number (RTNO), fresh root yield (FYLD), harvest index (HI), dry matter (DM), cyanide potential (CNP), mean plant height (MPH...

This study was embarked upon to stack two key but inversely associated sweetpotato traits (dry matter and beta-carotene content) through conventional breeding methods. Thirty-seven elite sweetpotato genotypes were evaluated for both traits, and 15 parents comprising five orange-, five yellow- and...

This review presents an overview of the importance, constraints, and prospects on different aspects of cassava (Manihot esculenta crantz) breeding for enhanced micronutrient level, including carotenoids (precursors for provitamin-A) and especially beta-carotene. Early cassava-breeding efforts con...
