Abstract excerpt
The genetic basis of early bulking in cassava was studied in a replicated, multi-locational trial using 144 F1 progeny derived from an intra-specific cross between two non-inbred parents. A second, sequential harvest experiment examined the relative importance of eight yield-related traits on early bulking and their QTLs during the crop growth cycle. Our objectives were to identify traits, and genes controlling...
