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): JALA, I. M.; SILVA, C. C. da; SAMPAIO FILHO, J. S.; OLIVEIRA, E. J. de; NÓBREGA, R. S. A. In Brazil, there is already a recommendation for the production of cassava seed-cuttings for the production of seedlings originated from micropropagation, which may be extended for the production of s... ... |
Author(s): OLIVEIRA, E. J. de; AUD, F. F.; MORALES, C. F. G.; SANTOS, V. da S.; KOTWISKI, F.; V. COSTA The knowledge of the phenotypic variation of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) germplasm allows estimating the genetic variability to support the selection of contrasting genitors. Therefore, the aim... ... |
Author(s): OLIVEIRA, E. J. de; OLIVEIRA, S. A. S. de; OTTO, C.; ALICAI, T.; FREITAS, J. P. X. de; CORTES, D. F. M.; PARIYO, A.; LIRI, C.; ADIGA, G.; BALMER, A.; ROBINSON, M. Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important food security crop in many parts of the developing world. The crop?s high yield potential and multitude of uses?both for nutrition and processing?ren... ... |
Author(s): XAVIER, C. A. D.; NOGUEIRA, A. M.; BELLO, V. H.; WATANABE, L. F. M.; BARBOSA, T. M. C.; ALVES JÚNIOR, M.; BARBOSA, L.; BESERRA-JÚNIOR, J. E. A.; BOARI, A. de J.; CALEGARIO, R.; GORAYEB, E. S.; HONORATO JÚNIOR, J.; KOCH, G.; LIMA, G. S. de A.; LOPES, C.; MELLO, R. N. de; PANTOJA, K.; SILVA, F. N.; RAMOS SOBRINHO, R.; SANTANA, E. 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): OLIVEIRA, E. J. de; OLIVEIRA FILHO, O. S. de; SANTOS, V. da S. The objective of this work was to select the most informative morphoagronomic descriptors for cassava (Manihot esculenta) germplasm and to evaluate the ability of different methods to select the descr... ... |
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... ... |
