Abstract Background Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important food crop known
for its high starch content. Polyploid breeding is effective in its genetic improvement, and use …

Polyploidy breeding of cassava has been used to improve cassava traits over the past years.
We previously reported in vitro induction of tetraploids in the cassava variety “Xinxuan 048” …

Abstract Background Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important multiuse crop
grown for economic and energy purposes. Its vegetative organs are storage roots, in which …

In order to exploit the induced female 2n gametes for cassava (Manihot esculenta) breeding,
a detailed histological observation of female gametogenesis was conducted to correlate with …

Generation of heterozygous genomes by hybridization between or within species can help
maintain plant diversity and serve as a potential source of new species (Baek et al., 2018) …

Polyploids have great breeding value as they could have higher vegetative yields, higher
qualities and greater tolerances against biotic and abiotic stresses. This research is focusing …

Cassava is a crucial crop that makes a significant contribution to ensuring human food
security. However, high-quality telomere-to-telomere cassava genomes have not been …

Abstract Cassava, Manihot esculenta Crantz (Euphorbiaceae), is a major tropical crop. It is a
diploid and sexually fertile, but confined to vegetative propagation in agriculture. While …

Cassava polyploid breeding has drastically improved our knowledge on increasing root
yield and its significant tolerance to stresses. In polyploid cassava plants, increases in DNA …

Spontaneous sexual and asexual polyploids occur in cassava. The cassava polyploid
breeding strategies using these polyploidization processes are discussed. Sexual …
