Quantification of copy number and mRNA levels of transgenes in cassava using quantitative real-time PCR
Fourteen microsatellites containing GA-repeats were isolated and characterized in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz, Euphorbiaceae). Microsatellite heterozygosity (h) was estimated in 48 accessions using (32P)-end-labeled primers and in more than 500 accessions using fluorescence-based genotyping...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is an important staple crop, especially in the arid tropics. Because roots of commercial cassava cultivars contain a limited amount of provitamin A carotenoids, both conventional breeding and genetic modification are being applied to increase their production and accum...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a vitally important food source for many people in developing tropical countries. There are significant opportunities for improving the compositional qualities and pest resistance of cassava, and modern biotechnology is expected to play an important role in t...

Cassava is a tropical storage-root crop that serves as a worldwide source of staple food for over 800 million people. Flowering is one of the most important breeding challenges in cassava because in most lines flowering is late and non-synchronized, and flower production is sparse. The FLOWERING ...
