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...

Cassava breeding: opportunities and challenges
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a tough and productive survival crop of smallholder farmers in the tropics. It is often grown where other crops fail. Research can make important contribution to food security and economic development in cassava-growing areas. This can be enhanced through in-...

Contributions of in-vitro biology to cassava improvement
La participación del agricultor en la selección de variedades ha sido ampliamente documentada en varios cultivos y países; sin embargo, pocos desarrollos metodológicos se han orientado al desarrollo de nuevas variedades. El presente artículo documenta la formulación y aplicación de una metodologí...

A linkage map of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) based on RFLP and RAPD markers
The genetic resources available for cassava improvement include advanced breeding lines, collected landraces and the crops`s wild relatives. Information about the structure of these gene pools is important in the development of sound germplasm conservation and use strategies. RAPD markers have be...

Application of molecular markers to describing the genetic structure of cassava gene pools
The main responsibility of CIAT as a curator of the world`s cassava germplasm is to assure long-term conservation at low risk of genetic loss and to facilitate access to genetic variability. The present collection of 5477 accessions is maintained both in the field and in vitro at CIAT headquarter...
