Four morphological types of cassava clone MCol 2215 (Venezolana) have been observed in El Carmen de Bolivar, Colombia. Therefore, tissues from leaf apical meristems and from root tips were assessed by electrophoresis using 4 isoenzymes as genetic markers (esterase, diaphorase, acid phosphatase, oxalic glutamate). The 4 morphological types presented similar electrophoretic patterns for the 4 isoenzyme systems tested, indicating that the different types of branching observed are not due to genetic factors but to environmental factors still unidentified.
