The class of root, tuber and banana (RTB) crops encompasses banana and plantain, cassava, potato, sweet potato, taro, yam and a number of lesser cultivated and consumed root and tuber crops. RTB are the second most important group of crops in LDCs after cereals. RTB are vital for food security, w...
Flowering in cassava is related to branching. Erect plant architecture is usually preferred by farmers but results in late and scarce flowering, which slows down breeding and genetic studies. The objective of this study was to induce earlier and more abundant flowering, which have become key rese...

This 14-minute video describes the protocol used for the collection of female flowers at different ages after anthesis and the development of a protocol of early embryo rescue. The production of doubled haploids through different gynogenesis approaches usually require an early rescue of embryos w...

This 9-minute video describes the protocol used in cassava for the analysis pollen tube grow in vivo. Then images of pollen tube growth taken with a fluorescence microscope are presented to illustrate the process. Finally an overall description of the time required for the pollen tube tip to reac...

Identifying crop research priorities based on potential economic and poverty reduction impacts: The case of cassava in Africa, Asia, and Latin America
Ten and thirty cassava genotypes producing wildtype and amylose‐free (waxy) starch respectively, are grown at low (LA) and intermediate (IA) altitudes (<213 and >900 m above sea level (m.a.s.l.) respectively). The functional properties of the starch from these materials are analyzed. The relative...
