In vitro conservation strategies are reviewed, with special reference to in vitro active and basic gene banks; likewise, important aspects that should be considered for in vitro conservation, such as regeneration, viability, genetic stability, and information systematization, are discussed. The 2...
The participation of CIAT in the agroindustrialization of dried cassava in Colombia is briefly indicated. Main area of influence has been on the Atlantic Coast, where an integrated approach to production, processing, and marketing has been employed. The project consists of 3 phases: (1) exptl. ph...
A taxonomic classification and morphological description is given of the cassava plant: leaves, inflorescence (masculine and femenine flowers), fruit (seeds), stems (reproductive branching, lateral branches, branching produced after severe damage), roots (primary root and a description of thicken...
