Development of molecular marker for pro-vitamin A carotenoids in cassava
Cassava is currently the third most important source of calories in the tropics and consumed as a staple food. Several cassava varieties have yellow flesh color, and contain moderate amounts of carotenoid or beta-carotene which is a precursor of vitamin A. Consumption of carotene rich foods is the m...
