Microsatellite markers confirm high apomixis level in cassava bred clones.

Abstract excerpt

Apomixis genes have successfully been transferred to cassava by hybridization with the wild species, Manihot glaziovii. The interspecific hybrid of cassava and M. glaziovii was left for open pollination during the subsequent three generations. Seven sibs and their maternal progenitor of the fourth generation were genotyped using five microsatellite loci previously developed for cassava. All sibs were identical...
