Genome-wide association and prediction reveals the genetic architecture of cassava mosaic disease resistance and prospects for rapid genetic improvement
2015-11-11
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Cassava ( Manihot esculenta ) is a crucial, under-researched crop feeding millions worldwide, especially in Africa. Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) has plagued production in Africa for over a century. Bi-parental mapping studies suggest primarily a single major gene mediates resistance. To be certain and to potentially identify new loci we conducted the first genome-wide association mapping study...
