Abstract excerpt
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a tropical crop of major socioeconomic importance, whose productivity can be limited by sensitivity to herbicides used for weed management. This study aimed to perform a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 194 cassava genotypes to identify genomic regions associated with tolerance to the herbicides mesotrione, S-metolachlor, and chloransulam-methyl. The evaluations...
