Clonal propagation of fruits, flowers, and forest trees leads to high levels of heterozygosity, fixes favorable combinations of traits, eliminates undesirable deleterious effects, allows easy identification, propagation of favorable mutations, and is an efficient method for in vitro and ex vitro ...

Opportunities and challenges to implementing genomic selection in clonally propagated crops.
This flyer introduces a new four year investment to develop genomic and genetic resources for sweetpotato improvement that has been launched with the goal of establishing a molecular marker-assisted breeding program in sweetpotato. It provides information about the critical scientific constraints...

The CGIAR Research Program (CRP) on Roots, Tubers and Bananas (RTB) includes vegetatively propagated staple crops linked by common breeding, seed, and postharvest issues, and by the frequency with which women are involved in their production and use. RTB crops are the backbone of food security ac...
