Abstract Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important food crop in many tropical
countries in Africa, South America and Asia. However, yields are below the productivity of …

Thirty cassava accessions, including released and pre-release varieties in India were
selected for morphological, statistical and molecular analysis to evaluate their genetic …

Studies to quantify genetic variation in cassava germplasm, available within the national
breeding programmes in Africa, have been limited. Here, we report on the nature and extent …

Genetic diversity is fundamentally important in crop improvement and provides plants with
the capacity to meet the demands of changing environments. This work was carried out to …

Fifty cassava clones were studied using RAPD technique. They included landraces from the
Wenchi, Nkoranza, Dormaa Ahenkoro and Asonafo districts of the Brong Ahafo region of …

Dearth of information on extent of genetic variability in cassava limits the genetic
improvement of cassava genotypes in Sierra Leone. The aim of this study was to assess the …

Molecular‐marker‐aided evaluation of germplasm plays an important role in defining the
genetic diversity of plant genotypes for genetic and population improvement studies. A …

Forty-three cassava genotypes were evaluated to assess genetic variability for root yield and
its components at three locations (Ibadan, Mokwa and Onne) in Nigeria, during 2004-2005 …
