Six weight-classes of white guinea yam (Dioscòrea rotundata Poir.) setts—2–5, 5.01–10, 10.01–20, 20.01–30, 30.01–40, and 40.01–50 g—were presprouted in fresh, moist sawdust in open-air, propagation beds. The 2–5 g and 5.01–10 g classes were described as microsetts. Three natural groups patterned ...

The base section of the ACMV-susceptible clone 60506 recorded the highest disease incidence and severity relative to all other sections of the moderately resistant clone TMS 4(2)1425 and the resistant clone TMS 30001. However, in all clones, the base section recorded higher disease than either th...

Because of IITA's interest in cassava utilization by humans and livestock, selection for acyanogenesis will be an important objective of the cassava-breeding program. Selection for acyanogenesis will be based on finding cassava lines that lack the glucoside, glucosidase, and/or the glucoside and ...
A cause de l'interet que porte I'IITA a l'utilisation du manioc par I'homme et Ie betail, un objectif important de son programme de recherche sur la genetique du manioc visera a la selection de plants pour leur acyogenese. A cette fin, on tentera de decourvrir des Iignees de manioc depourvues de ...
