Grafting as a strategy to increase flowering of cassava
The main purpose of this work was to evaluate the effect of grafting on floral induction of cassava
Abstract
In cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), transferring genes via genetic breeding depends on crosses between contrasting progenitors, which is often limited by the low flowering rate of many genotypes. The main purpose of this work was to evaluate the effect of grafting on floral induction of cassava.
This work is an output of the “Next Generation Cassava Breeding Project” which is supported by the UK Department for International Development, in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
