Cassava traits and end-user preference: relating traits to consumer liking, sensory perception, and genetics
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/76345
Abstract
Breeding efforts have focused on improving agronomic traits of the cassava plant however little research has been done to enhance the crop palatability. This review investigates the links between cassava traits and end-user preference in relation with sensory characteristics. The main trait is starch and its…

Abstract
Nearly 40% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Latin America were from agriculture, forestry, and other land use (AFOLU) in 2008, more than double the global fraction of AFOLU emissions. In this article, we investigate the future trajectory of AFOLU GHG emissions in Latin America, with and without efforts to mitigate, using a multi-model comparison…

Soil Phosphatase Activities across a Liming Gradient under Long-Term Managements in Kenya
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/92926
Abstract
Core Ideas We investigated liming in soil mesocosms from 11‐yr managements: no input, mineral N+P, and manure. There were minor or no changes in labile inorganic P, labile organic P, and microbial biomass P. Changes in the activity of different phosphatases following liming depended on management. Liming decreased acid…

Abstract
The CGIAR Harvest Plus Challenge Program began in the mid-2000s to support the genetic improvement of nutritional quality in various crops, including the carotenoids content of cassava roots. Successful conventional breeding requires a large number of segregating progenies. However,…

Abstract
In the past few years, the economy of Vietnam has developed very rapidly, and in agriculture, food production has been quite successful, especially that of rice. At the same time cassava production has changed from being a crop providing food for humans to being a cash crop. The planting of new cassava varieties has increased the net income of…
