Cassava (manioc, yuca, or mandioca; Manihot esculenta Crantz, Euphorbiaceae) is an important cash crop and food crop of resource-limited farmers in Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean. The storage roots are utilised either fresh, as in the case of sweet cultivars low in cyanogenic g...


Okogbenin, EmmanuelSetter TLFerguson MMutegi RAlves, A.C.Ceballos, H.Fregene, Martin A.[Phenotyping cassava for adaptation to drought]Phenotyping cassava for adaptation to drought

In cassava, as for other major crops, molecular markers can reveal the genetic basis for both qualitative and quantitative phenotypic changes. This chapter examines the genetic diversity of cassava, the process of marker-assisted selection (MAS) and the application of genome sequencing to cassava...
