Enhancing Nutrition: A Review of Provitamin A Carotenoid Cassava Breeding Initiatives in East Africa
Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Biofortification of staple food stands as one of the most reliable methods of alleviating vitamin A deficiency (VAD). Evidence suggests that introducing provitamin A carotenoid (pVAC) cassava into the diets of preschool and primary school children in East Africa has led to improvements in their retinol levels.

Case studies of Roots, Tubers and Bananas seed systems. [PDF]
, 2017 The seed systems of RTB (root, tuber, and banana) crops are unique because they are propagated from vegetative parts of the plant, not from true seed. RTB seed is thus bulkier, more perishable, and more subject to the attacks of pests and diseases than ...
