The importance of cassava as the fourth largest source of calories in the world requires that contributions of biotechnology to improving this crop, advances and current challenges, be periodically reviewed. Plant biotechnology offers a wide range of opportunities that can help cassava become a b...

Using a droplet-vitrification method to partially overcome the recalcitrance of Cassava to cryostorage
Shoot tips of in vitro-grown plantlets of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), representing a wide range of germplasm, were cryopreserved as follows: precultured for 3 days, cryoprotected and dehydrated for 1 h, then frozen in liquid nitrogen using a six-step protocol. After 3 h in liquid nitrogen...

Can in vitro biology have farm-level impact for small-scale cassava farmers in Latin America
The lack of good quality planting material of farmers' cassava varieties, produced locally and at low cost, is a major constraint limiting the expansion of cassava production in Colombia. This article describes the adaptation of conventional cassava propagation to a low-input scheme for rural tis...
