Molecular markers and their application to cassava breeding: past, present and future
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/43877
Abstract
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 cassava community is poised to take advantage of these new tools. Here we review the development of molecular…

Abstract
This commentary argues that priorities to combat the number of undernourished people in the world should shift from prioritizing food aid to supplying impoverished farmers with training, access to markets, and farm equipment such as fertilizer and improved seed. The solution will be more effective and cheaper. The solution is posited due to estimates from the Food and Agriculture…
