Provitamin A accumulation in Cassava (Manihot esculenta) roots driven by a single nucleotide polymorphism in a phytoene synthase gene[W]
Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is an important staple crop, especially in the arid tropics. Because roots of commercial cassava cultivars contain a limited amount of provitamin A carotenoids, both conventional breeding and genetic modification are being applied to increase their production and accumula...
