Application of molecular markers to describing the genetic structure of cassava gene pools
Application of molecular markers to describing the genetic structure of cassava gene pools International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) https://hdl.handle.net/10568/55845 Abstract The genetic resources available for cassava improvement include advanced breeding lines, collected landraces and the crops`s wild relatives. Information about the structure of these gene pools is important in the development of sound germplasm conservation and use strategies. RAPD markers have been applied to describing… - publication
Cryopreservation for long-term conservation of cassava genetic resources
Cryopreservation for long-term conservation of cassava genetic resources International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) https://hdl.handle.net/10568/55848 Abstract Cassava is mostly growing by resource-limited farmers in the Americas, Africa, Asia and Oceania. The crop is an important source of food and income for millions in the tropics. Vegetative propagation, bulkiness of planting material and risk of genetic erosion make cassava an ideal target for innovative approaches in genetic conservation. At CIAT,… - publication
Establishment of a core cassava germplasm collection in Thailand
Establishment of a core cassava germplasm collection in Thailand International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) https://hdl.handle.net/10568/55849 Abstract The Thai cassava production and processing industry heavily depends on the export market, mainly the European Economic Community (EEC). With the anticipated removal of the preferential tariff treatment of Thai tapioca to the EEC, a lower level of importation and/or lower prices for Thai cassava products are imminent. Thai government policy is to reduce… - publication
Progress in Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)
Progress in Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) https://hdl.handle.net/10568/55850 Abstract To help solve breeding problems in cassava that have long eluded conventional strategies, a routine transformation protocol is esential. The agropine-mannopine nondisarmed strain of Agrobacterium tumefaciens (CIAT 1182) was selected and used with the binary vector pGV1040. This vector contains the npt II, gus, and bar genes.…
