SNP-based marker-assisted selection for high provitamin A content in African cassava genetic background
Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) contributes to significant levels of mortality and morbidity, particularly among children and women in Africa. Cassava is a major staple crop whose biofortification with beta-carotene can contribute to reducing the VAD prevalence in a cost-effective and sustainable approac...
