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...

También proporcionaron el mayor número de variedades liberadas para zonas áridas y tropicales, mientras que las poblaciones generadas en CIAT fueron más importantes para las zonas templadas. Entre 1971 y 1990, el periodo promedio entre cruce y liberación varietal aumentó de 7.1 a 13.2 años, espec...

While the pleasant scent of aromatic rice is making it more popular, with demand for aromatic rice expected to rise in future, varieties of this have low yield potential. Genetic diversity and population structure of aromatic germplasm provide valuable information for yield improvement which has ...
