Several cassava genotypes were observed although there were few bred varieties. The wide diversity in the cassava landraces was a consequence of the action of the farmers in continuously abandoning and introducing cultivars into their system as they tried to select those cultivars that met their ...

Before implementation of genomic selection, evaluation of the potential accuracy of prediction can be obtained by cross-validation. In this procedure, a population with both phenotypes and genotypes is split into training and validation sets. The prediction model is fitted using the training set,...

Cassava is an important starchy root crop and a major staple for more than 70 million people in Nigeria. New yellow-fleshed genotypes are being developed to combat vitamin A deficiency. Trials of 18 yellow-fleshed genotypes and two officially released white-fleshed clones, used as checks for 2008...

Despite its relatively recent introduction to Africa, cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) has become a major food crop adapted to a wide range of agro-ecologies that is grown by millions of small-holding farmers of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), owing to its remarkable tolerance to an array of biotic a...

Although cassava is a major food crop, its scientific breeding began only recently compared with other crops. Significant progress has been achieved, particularly in Asia where cassava is used mainly for industrial processes and no major biotic constraints affect its productivity. Cassava breedin...
