Different aspects of anther culture are reviewed as follows: its application in plant breeding, conditions that affect results (physiology and genotype of donor plants, albinism, pollen development, pretreatment of anthers, culture media), var. obtained by anther culture, and comparative advantag...
Several important aspects of the use of molecular markers in cassava germplasm characterization and in plant breeding programs are indicated. Basic concepts considered include protein and DNA electrophoresis. In the case of cassava, isoenzyme electrophoresis was applied to confirm duplicates dete...
