| Summary: | Because of IITA's interest in cassava utilization by humans and livestock, selection for acyanogenesis will be an important objective of the cassava-breeding program. Selection for acyanogenesis will be based on finding cassava lines that lack the glucoside, glucosidase, and/or the glucoside and glucosidase. While stressing the importance of acyanogenesis, other important objectives of the program will be the retention of features such as resistance to insects and diseases in acyanogenic cassava plants. |
