Identification of radiation induced mutants of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) using morphological and physicochemical descriptors¹

For mutants of starch and other desirable traits of interest in cassava, we evaluated the physical-chemical morphology of the root and paste in inbred populations of six M2 families, derived from irradiated seeds. 1,097 plants were established, 829 of Gamma treatment and 268 of neutrons. In the morp...
