Standardisation of true cassava seed (TCS) programme with special emphasis on more homogeneous, CMD resistant progenies

2005-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The propagation of cassava through true seeds (sexual seeds) rather than by clones is a promising option due to its manifold advantages such as enhancing the multiplication rate, keeping the dreaded cassava mosaic disease (CMD) under check, longer seed viability, ease of storage and transport. The high genetic heterogeneity and consequent variation among seedlings is the major stumbling block in sexual propagation...
