Chloroplast DNA (cp) and nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) variation was investigated in 45 accessions of cultivated and wild Manihot species. Ten independent mutations, 8 point mutations and 2 length mutations were identified, using eight restriction enzymes and 12 heterologous cpDNA probes from mung...

A highly significant relationship was found between the compressive strength of eight boiled cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) tuberous roots and their intercellular adhesion, as measured by a retained dry weight method, suggesting that compressive strength is a measure of cell separation. In ge...

The starchy staples of cassava (tuberous roots) provides more than half the calories consumed by more than 200 million people in sub-Saharan Africa, and the leaves are often used as a vegetable providing protein, vitamins and minerals. The cyanogenic potential of cassava has often been cited as a...

Cassava is the major root crop in eastern and southern Africa. It is an important source of calories for the inhabitants of such countries as Uganda, Malawi, and Mozambique. It may also be the best alternative for overcoming the food scarcities caused by frequent droughts in the region.

A substantial impact on Africa agriculture can be made through research on crop improvement for the extensive inland valley agro-ecosystems (IVS) extending from the humid forest to the savanna zones in sub saharan Africa. Systematic surveys of farmers have shown that cassava is a favoured upland ...
