Abstract excerpt
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a prioritized crop for food security for nearly one billion people worldwide. We examined the genetic structure and diversity in a panel of 176 cassava cultivars from diverse biogeographic regions of Colombia using a total of 57,410 SNP markers obtained by Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS). A moderately high total diversity, heterozygotes deficit and inbreeding were found....
