Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) is one of the most important pests of cassava in Africa and several countries of Asia due to the damage caused by direct feeding, the excretion of honeydew, and its capacity as a vector of cassava mosaic geminivirus. There is a general consensus that B. tabaci is a comp...
Microsatellite amplification was performed on cassava (Manihot esculenta) and six other different species (all wild) of the Manihot genus. We used ten pairs of microsatellite primers previously developed from cassava, detecting 124 alleles in a sample of 121 accessions of the seven species. The n...
Cassava is one of the main carbohydrate sources in the tropics, and it has worldwide importance as basic food for millions of persons in America and Africa. This root crop is affected by cassava frog skin disease that in Colombia produces yield losses of almost 90%. A phytoplasma was associated w...
We applied the cDNA-AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) technique to mRNA from the parents of a cassava (Manihot esculenta) genetic mapping population, and obtained more than 500 transcript-derived fragments (TDFs) that were unique in either parent. A subset of 50 TDFs were cloned and s...
As cassava is grown mostly by small resource-limited farmers throughout the tropics on low-fertility soils with little fertilization and, due to the large potassium (K) export in harvested roots, genotypes that tolerate low-K soils and respond to K fertilization are warranted. The objective of th...
Relative importance of harvest index (I) and total biomass yield (B) to economic yield (Y) was assessed in several food crops at different levels of environmental productivity. Importance of B is generally higher in low than high yielding environments, while that of I is higher in high than low y...
People in vast areas of the tropics suffer from vitamin A deficiency, resulting in progressive eye damage and eventually leading to blindness. Improving the content of vitamin A precursors in staple crops could alleviate or solve such a problem. The objective of this work was to study the range o...
