Developing Cassava Mosaic Disease resistant cassava varieties in Ghana using a marker assisted selection approach

2015-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Cassava is a major staple and food security crop in Africa which can produce a crop under uncertain rainfall and low fertility conditions. However, it suffers from several pests and diseases, with Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD) being the main biotic constraint in production in sub-Saharan Africa. It is caused by cassava mosaic geminiviruses. Plants infected with CMD usually produce a few or no storage roots. Markers...
