Characterization on starches from non-cereal crops cultivated in tropical America: comparative analysis of staarch behaviour under different stress conditions
Cassava is an important energy-rich food for millions of people in tropical developing countries. The crop has reached that status after thousands of years of evolution under diverse agro-ecosystems, movement of germplasm within and across continents, and more recently, through scientific genetic...

A core collection of 630 cassava clones has been established at CIAT, representative of the complete germplasm collection of 5169 clones. All available clones in the core collection (560) were analysed for dry matter and total cyanogen contents, and starch was extracted for determination of amylo...
