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. ...

The genetic resources available for cassava improvement include advanced breeding lines, collected landraces and the crops`s wild relatives. Information about the structure of these gene pools is important in the development of sound germplasm conservation and use strategies. RAPD markers have be...

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...
