Unlocking Genetic Diversity in Colombian Cassava Landraces for Accelerated Breeding

2025-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Cassava ( Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a staple food for hundreds of millions across the global south. In this study, we investigated genomic diversity among over 1000 cassava genotypes, with a particular focus on the addition of 387 newly sequenced landrace varieties originating from diverse climates across Colombia. As cassava was domesticated in or near the Amazon basin, these landraces represent untapped gene...
