Genetic diversity of provitamin-A cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) in Sierra Leone

Understanding the genetic diversity among accessions and germplasm is an important requirement for crop development as it allows for the selection of diverse parental combinations for enhancing genetic gain in varietal selection, advancement and release. The study aimed to characterize 183 provitami...
