INTROGRESSION OF HIGH PROTEIN AND PEST RESISTANCE GENES FROM INTER-SPECIFIC HYBRIDS OF MANIHOT ESCULENTA SSP FLABELLIFOLIA INTO CASSAVA (MANIHOT ESCULENTA CRANTZ)
Manihot esculenta ssp flabellifolia possesses valuable genetic variability for protein and disease resistance genes that were introgressed into cultivated cassava. FLA 444- 5 with a protein content of 10.5% (dry weight basis) was hybridised with cassava through controlled crosses and backcrossed to...
