Cassava is an important energy source in the diets of millions of people in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It is a key subsistence crop, and its industrial uses are steadily growing. In spite of its economic and social relevance, relatively little investment has been made for rese...

In this study, host-specific forms of the blast pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) were characterised from distinct cropping locations using a combination of molecular and biological assays. Finger millet blast populations in East Africa revealed a continuous genetic variatio...

El frijol silvestre es un grupo con mayor diversidad genética que el grupo de los cultivados. Ante la imposibilidad de estudiar las acciones de frijol del Banco de Germoplasma del CIAT, se formó la Colección central para conocerla en detalle. De ella se han tomado las accesiones silvestres y se h...

The genetic diversity of 219 accessions of Guinea yam germplasm from Benin, Congo, Côte d’ Ivoire,Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Togo was accessed using 15 microsatelliteloci. High diversity of 0.677 was found among the accessions. An allelic average of 8.06 andpolymor...
Isozyme markers are commonly used to study populations, taxonomy, and the genetics of crop species. In the genus Vigna. these markers have been investigated mainly to assess genetic diversity in the V. unguiculata complex. The aim of this study was to extend isozyme analysis to other sections of ...

Plantain and banana (Musa spp. AAB and AAA groups) are perennial giant herbs of the tropics which develop parthenocarpic fruits. At least three independent but complementary dominant genes control vegetative parthenocarpy in Musa. One of these genes, P1 segregates in euploid hybrid progenies deri...

One of the objectives of the cassava-breeding project at CIAT is the identification of clones with special root quality characteristics. A large number of self-pollinations have been made in search of useful recessive traits. During 2006 harvests an S1 plant produced roots that stained brownish-r...

Discovery of an amylose-free starch mutant in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)
Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is an allogamous, vegetatively propagated, Neotropical crop that is also widely grown in tropical Africa and Southeast Asia. To elucidate genetic diversity and differentiation in the crop's primary and secondary centers of diversity, and the forces shaping them, SSR ma...
