Excellence in Cassava Breeding: Perspectives for the Future (2020, result): “These gains are quite acceptable for a crop whose breeding has often been considered complicated and inefficient and they align with earlier reports [12,25].”
International research on cassava photosynthesis, productivity, eco-physiology, and responses to environmental stresses in the tropics (2006, background): “…suited for intercropping), high dry matter content (i.e. high starch content) in the storage roots and harvest indices (HI) (HI = root yield/total plant biomass) higher than the 0.5 or less found in most of the low-yielding traditional cultivars and land races (Kawano 1990, 2003).”
Stress-Tolerant Cassava: The Role of Integrative Ecophysiology-Breeding Research in Crop Improvement (2012, background): “Hence, later breeding strategy goals centered on selecting and developing cultivars with adequate and stable yields, and able to adapt to a wide range of biotic and abiotic stresses [26,31,32].”
