Genetic distance and specific combining ability in cassava

2016-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important source of energy in the tropics. Its starchy roots are valuable for food security as well as for different industries. Cassava is an outcrossing crop and its breeding is based on the use of heterozygous progenitors. Non-additive genetic effects are important for fresh root yield (FRY) and can be exploited through reciprocal recurrent selection. Results from three...
