Growth and N uptake in pot-grown maize, beans, and cassava were evaluated under 2 levels of soil N at CIAT-Palmira (Colombia). The lower amount of the element reduced its uptake by the 3 species, resulting in lower tissue concn., especially in the leaves. Under low N, DM accumulation was also red...

The quality of cassava starch, an important trait in cassava breeding programs, determines its applications in various industries. For example, development of waxy (having a low level of amylose) cassava is in demand. Amylose is synthesized by granule-bound starch synthase I (GBSSI) in plants, an...
