description Different physiological characteristics of the cassava plant, which can be used as selection parameters, are reviewed, namely LAI, HI, biomass production, plants with amphistomatic leaves, and C4 photosynthesis. Experience indicates that it is better to select var. showing lower yield reduction under exptl. stress conditions, since these will show a more stable yield response under real stress conditions. Two possibilities to increase even more the yield potential of cassava are briefly discussed: (1) enable the plant to maintain total biomass production while using less carbohydrates in the production of leaves and stems; (2) combine higher biomass production with high HI.

Experience indicates that it is better to select var. showing lower yield reduction under exptl. stress conditions, since these will show a more stable yield response under real stress conditions. Two possibilities to increase even more the yield potential of cassava are briefly discussed: (1) enable the plant to maintain total biomass production while using less carbohydrates in the production of leaves and stems; (2) combine higher biomass production with high HI. (CIAT) Se revisan diferentes caracteristicas fisiologicas de la planta de yuca que se pueden utilizar como parametros de seleccion: IAF, IC, produccion de biomasa, plantas con hojas amfistomatosas y fotosintesis C4. Se enfatiza que se debe tratar de seleccionar var. que presenten menor disminucion en condiciones exptl. de estres, puestos que estas tenderan a presentar una respuesta de rendimiento mas estable en condiciones reales de estres. Se discuten brevemente 2 posibilidades para aumentar aun mas el potencial de rendimiento de la yuca: 1) lograr que la planta mantenga la produccion total de biomasa y que al mismo tiempo use menor cantidad de hidratos de carbono en la produccion de hojas y tallos; 2) combinar una mayor produccion de biomasa con un alto IC.
