Variation of quality traits in cassava roots evaluated in landraces and improved clones (2005, methodology): “The higher the color intensity, the higher the amount of carotene present, supporting the reports by Iglesias et al. (1997) and Graham et al. (1999) but based on a considerably larger sample.”
Breeding for micronutrients in staple food crops from a human nutrition perspective. (2004, background): “Cassava: The variation in b-carotene concentration in cassava roots from a CIAT core collection (630 genotypes) from the global cassava germplasm collection (about 5500 genotypes) was reported by Iglesias et al. (1997).”
Breeding crops for enhanced micronutrient content (2002, background): “The variation in β-carotene concentration in cassava roots from a CIAT core collection (630 genotypes) from the global cassava germplasm collection (about 5500 genotypes) was reported by Iglesias et al. (1997).”
