Fauquet, Claude M.Taylor, Nigel J.Tohme, Joseph M.[The Global Cassava Partnership for the 21st Century (GCP21)]The Global Cassava Partnership for the 21st Century (GCP21)

The starchy swollen roots of cassava provide an essential food source for nearly a billion people, as well as possibilities for bioenergy, yet improvements to nutritional content and resistance to threatening diseases are currently impeded. A 454-based whole genome shotgun sequence has been assem...

Cassava is an important energy source in the diets of millions of people in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It is a key subsistence crop, and its industrial uses are steadily growing. In spite of its economic and social relevance, relatively little investment has been made for rese...

The advent of relatively low-cost, massively parallel, high-throughput genome sequencing and the resultant availability of high density markers are revolutionizing the ways in which molecular markers can be applied to plant breeding. With the availability of the draft cassava genome sequence, the...

The success or failure of any large-scale crop breeding program should be measured by achievement of the following step-by-step goals: 1) Establishment of a breeding program 2) Building of effective research capability 3) A large number of genotypes produced and evaluated 4) Selection of superior...

In Thailand cassava breeding is the responsibility of the Rayong Field Crops Research Center of the Department of Agriculture (DOA), and of Kasetsart University (KU). From 1975 to 1992, six cultivars have been released for industrial use, i.e. Rayong 1, Rayong 3, Rayong 60, Rayong 90, Sri Racha 1...

In recent years (1990-1995) the cassava area in Vietnam has remained stable, or has increased slightly in the south due to the new demand for cassava roots used for starch processing. Therefore, our cassava breeding program, in collaboration with CIAT, has put a high priority on developing new va...
