Spontaneous sexual and asexual polyploids occur in cassava. The cassava polyploid breeding strategies using these polyploidization processes are discussed. Sexual polyploidization has advantages over asexual polyploidization in terms of viability of gametes, heterosis, vigor, plant architecture, ...
The impact of cassava transformation technologies for agricultural development in Africa will depend largely on how successfully these capabilities are transferred and adapted to the African environment and local needs. Here we report on the first successful establishment of cassava regeneration ...

Cassava, yam, and plantain are staple food crops essential to food security in the humid and Sub-humid tropics of Africa. However, these crops have long growth cycles, high perishability and slow multiplication rates of propagation materials, and they are subject to a number of biological stresse...

Inclination towards research and the pursuit of a research career among medical students: an international cohort study
A genetic linkage map of the tetraploid white yam (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.) was constructed based on 341 co-dominantly scored amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers segregating in an intraspecific F1 cross. The F1 mapping population was produced by crossing a landrace cultivar TD...

Genotypic differences in the ability of immature leaf lobes and apical shoot meristems of cassava to form primary somatic embryos in P-CIM were observed (p ≤ 0.05). The mean number of apical meristems forming primary organized embryogenic structures when cultured in embryo induction medium supple...
