Cyanide toxicity and cassava research at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Ibadan, Nigeria

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 glu...

description 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.

A cause de l'interet que porte I'IITA a l'utilisation du manioc par I'homme et Ie betail, un objectif important de son programme de recherche sur la genetique du manioc visera a la selection de plants pour leur acyogenese. A cette fin, on tentera de decourvrir des Iignees de manioc depourvues de glucoside, de glucosidase ou des deux a la fois. Tout en placant l'emphase sur l'importance de l'acyogenese, d'autres aspects importants du programme porteront sur la retention, par les plants de manioc acyanogenes, de caracteres tels la resistance aux insectes et aux maladies. 1973-01 2018-11-14T06:53:48Z 2018-11-14T06:53:48Z Conference Paper https://hdl.handle.net/10568/98201 en Limited Access Sadik, S. & Hahn, S.K.
