Esterase isozymes were chosen for fingerprinting CIAT`s cassava germplasm colleciton, because of (1) their technical repeatability; (2) high polymorphism (i.e., many alleles per locus); and (3) high numner of bands detectable in cassava clones (i.e., at least a few loci are expressed). A total of...

Esterase isozyme fingerprinting of the cassava germplasm collection held at CIAT
The construction of a detailed genetic map of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) will be useful to tag agronomically important trais as well as to isolate and to clone cassava genes in the future. This map will also contribute to the understanding of cassava genomic structure and evolution. As a ...

Use of RFLPs and RAPDs in cassava genomic studies
Although world cassava production has been increasing, it is shown that considerable cassava yield gaps still exist. Constraints are divided according to being endogenous and exogenous to the (plant and) production system. It is indicated that besides these constraints, considerable "adoption con...

The use of doubled-haploids in cassava breeding
An international workshop on cassava genetic resources was recently held at CIAT. The main objectives of the meeting were to assess the present status of cassava germplasm conservation and use, and to examine the possibility of establishing a global network for cassava genetic resources. A global...
