Knowledge on the reproductive biology of cassava, relevant to breeders and molecular geneticists, is still limited. Therefore, different studies were carried out to determine the duration of stigma receptivity and the rate of pollen tube growth. Inflorescences were covered for up to 3 days after ...
High genotype-dependent variation in friable embryogenic callus (FEC) induction and subsequent somaclonal variation constitute bottlenecks for the application and scaling of genetic transformation (GT) technology to more farmer- and industry-preferred cassava varieties. The understanding and iden...

IITA Rwanda implemented N2Africa project from 2010-2017. The project aimed at enabling smallholder farmers to benefit from nitrogen fixation by legume crops in Rwanda. This short video explains some of the commendable outcomes of project, such as new varieties of soybeans introduced and are very ...

Development of a physicochemical method to quantify the extracellular liquid volume: Application to the transformation of cassava into gari
We developed and modified a precise, rapid, and reproducible protocol isolating high‐quality RNA from tissues of multiple varieties of cassava plants (Manihot esculenta Crantz). The resulting method is suitable for use in mini, midi, and maxi preparations and rapidly achieves high total RNA yield...

Accurate identification of crop cultivars is crucial in assessing the impact of crop improvement research outputs. Two commonly used identification approaches, elicitation of variety names from farmer interviews and morphological plant descriptors, have inherent uncertainty levels. Genotyping-by-...
