A genomic assisted breeding program for cassava to improve nutritional quality and industrial traits of storage root
Cassava is cultivated for two ends proposals: “sweet cassava” as fresh consumes and “industry cassava” as source of starch and farina. Landraces were used to discover “spontaneous mutations” and to develop evolutionary and breeding perspective of gene function. Genomic and Proteomic resources were o...
