 Author(s): FUKUDA, W. M. G.; SANTOS, V. da S. The cassava plant is native to Brazil, where have already been catalogued more than 4000 accessions. This wide genetic diversity has been kept in working collections and in active germplasm banks spre... ... |
 Author(s): SILVA, L. de J. de S.; MENEGHETTI, G. A.; PINHEIRO, J. O. C.; GUIMARAES, R. dos R. Cassava is the main source of energy in the Amazonian diet, hence its social importance. The low productivity and the socioeconomic importance of the crop led Embrapa western Amazon to develop a set o... ... |
 Author(s): VENTURINI, M. T.; ARAÚJO, T. da S.; ABREU, E. F. M.; ANDRADE, E. C. de; SANTOS, V. da S.; SILVA, M. R. da; OLIVEIRA, E. J. de Despite the widespread distribution of the Cassava common mosaic virus (CsCMV) in Brazil, little is known about the losses it causes in yield. The effect of CsCMV on different varieties was evaluated... ... |
 Current status and utilization of the wild cassava germplasm at Embrapa Cassava and Tropical Fruits. Author(s): ALVES, A. A. C.; LEDO, C. A. da S.; COSTA, I. R. S.; MENDES, R.; CARVALHO, P.; SILVA, A. F. Within Manihot gender, with around 98 documented species, only one is the cultivated cassava (M. esculenta Crantz), considered one of the most important staple foods in the human diet in the tropics.... ... |

 Author(s): OLIVEIRA, L. A. de; SILVEIRA, S. M. da; KIMURA, M.; SANTOS, V. da S.; JESUS, J. L. de; FIUZA, A. U. R.; CARVALHO, J. L. V. de Large genetic variation in carotenoid content has been reported to roots of cassava genotypes.Moreover, these pigments have to withstand different processing methods before cassava is consumed. |
 Author(s): OLIVEIRA, E. J. de; AIDAR, S. de T.; MORGANTE, C. V.; CHAVES, A. R. de M.; CRUZ, J. L.; COELHO FILHO, M. A. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of drought on genetic parameters and breeding values of cassava. The experiments were carried out in a completely randomized block design with thr... ... |

N.; SILVA, J. W. P. da; KRAUSE-SAKATE, R.; ZERBINI, F. M. Background. The necessity of a competent vector for transmission is a primary ecological factor driving the host range expansion of plant arthropod-borne viruses, with vectors playing an essential rol... ... |
 Author(s): ANDRADE, L. R. B. de; SOUSA, M. B. e; OLIVEIRA, E. J. de; RESENDE, M. D. V. de; AZEVEDO, C. F. Genomic selection (GS) has been used to optimize genetic gains when phenotypic selection is considered costly and difficult to measure. The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficiency and co... ... |
 Author(s): ARAÚJO, F. das C. B. de; CUNHA, E. F. M.; CUNHA, R. L.; FARIAS NETO, J. T. de; SILVA, R. de S. 'Bitter' and 'sweet' cassava are normally distinguished based on the hydrocyanic acid (HCN) content of their roots. Moreover, Brazilian farmers tend to select 'sweet' cassava based on the taste and co... ... |
