A genetic linkage map of cassava has been constructed with 132 RFLPs, 30 RAPDs, 3 microsatellites, and 3 isoenzyme markers segregating from the heterozygous female parent of an intraspecific cross. The F1 cross was made between ‘TMS 30572’ and ‘CM?2177-2’, elite cassava cultivars from Nigeria and...

We applied the cDNA-AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) technique to mRNA from the parents of a cassava (Manihot esculenta) genetic mapping population, and obtained more than 500 transcript-derived fragments (TDFs) that were unique in either parent. A subset of 50 TDFs were cloned and s...

Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) is the most-important disease of cassava (Manihot esculenta) in Africa, and is a potential threat to Latin American (LA) cassava production. Although this viral disease is still unknown in LA, its vector – the whitefly – has recently been found. The disease is best co...

Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSR) are the markers of choice for molecular genetic mapping and marker-assisted selection in many crop species. A microsatellite-based linkage map of cassava was drawn using SSR markers and a F2 population consisting of 268 individuals. The F2 populati...
Genetic mapping of early bulking in a full-sib population of cassava was continued in a selfed family of 268 cassava plants derived from a single progeny of the full-sib population. The pseudo F2 population was analysed with 122 segregating SSR markers. A previously constructed linkage map of cas...

Los genes de resistencia se buscaron mediante dos estrategias. La primera, por medio de hibridización con sondas de maíz y arroz, utilizando RFLP. La segunda consistió en la amplificación de regiones conservadas de ADN, con cebadores degenerados NBS y Pto kinasa, en tres genotipos de yuca resiste...

Cassava bacterial blight (CBB), caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis (Xam), is a major disease of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) in Africa and South America. Planting resistant varieties is the preferred method of disease control. Recent genetic mapping of an F1 cross (TMS 30572 × C...

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 basis of early bulking in cassava was studied in a replicated, multi-locational trial using 144 F1 progeny derived from an intra-specific cross between two non-inbred parents. A second, sequential harvest experiment examined the relative importance of eight yield-related traits on ear...
