Advancing Cassava: Productivity, Resilience, Nutrition, Safety
Received Date: Jul 01, 2025 / Published Date: Jul 29, 2025
Abstract
This compilation of research showcases significant progress in cassava breeding, focusing on enhancing productivity, resilience, and nutritional content. Key advancements include the application of genomic-assisted breeding for improved disease and drought resistance, biofortification for increased provitamin A, and CRISPR gene editing for disease control. The studies also leverage genetic diversity through landraces and wild relatives for trait introgression. Furthermore, research addresses starch quality for industrial applications and food safety via low-cyanide breeding. Innovative techniques like doubled haploid technology and robust field evaluations are employed to accelerate breeding and validate new varieties, aiming for superior cassava cultivars.
