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.

Multilocational trials were conducted in several agroecological zones in West Africa to assess the magnitude of genotype x environment (G x E) interaction and to identify stable varieties which could be used in breeding programs in the region. The reaction of the varieties to major cassava diseas...

Spontaneous sexual and asexual polyploids occur in cassava. The cassava polyploid breeding strategies using these polyploidization processes are discussed. Sexual polyploidization has advantages over asexual polyploidization in terms of viability of gametes, heterosis, vigor, plant architecture, ...
