Characterization of the proteins fractions extracted from leaves of Amaranthus dubius (Amaranthus spp.)
The cassava core collection (601 genotypes) was evaluated for root and leaf contents of micronutrient minerals, ascorbic acid, and carotene. Wide genetic variability was observed for all measurements, indicating that there is good potential for exploiting and improving the nutritive value of cass...
