Bulked segregant analysis identifies molecular markers associated with early bulking in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/42140
Abstract
Late root bulking is a major factor leading to rejection and abandoning of improved cassava genotypes in sub-Saharan Africa. Early bulking (EB) varieties shorten the growth period from planting to harvesting, better fit into environments with short rainy season, and reduce exposure to biotic and…

A milestone in the doubled haploid pathway of cassava
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/42276
Abstract
This study was aimed at inducing androgenesis in cultured anthers of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) to develop a protocol for the production of doubled haploids. Microspore reprogramming was induced in cassava by cold or heat stress of anthers. Since the anthers contain both haploid microspores and diploid somatic cells, it was essential to verify the origin of…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/76252
Abstract
Cassava is a staple food for about 800 million people worldwide. It is produced mainly by smallholder farmers. In July 2013, disease symptoms were observed on the crop, including longitudinal lip-like fissures on roots, and a thick cork-like appearance on root peel. The diseased cassava contained very low…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/67304
Abstract
Wild food plants (WFPs) are major components of tropical home gardens, constituting an important resource for poor farmers. The spatial and seasonal diversity of WFPs was analyzed across multi-species spatial configurations occurring within home gardens in a rice farming village in northeast Thailand. Data were collected in 77…

Abstract
The paper reviews cassava breeding and agronomy research carried out by MARDI over the 15-year period, 1984-1999. Evaluation of seedling clones derived from sexual seeds introduced from CIAT/Colombia and the Thai-CIAT program has culminated in the release of two varieties: Perintis (in 1988), which is a very high-yielding variety, and MM 92 (in…
