The Plant Journal, Volume 105, Issue 3, Page 754-770, February 2021., 2021 Significance Statement The high cyanogenic glucoside content in some cassava varieties prevents herbivory but can be toxic for human consumption. The identification of an intracellular transporter gene and its allelic variation allow us to identify cultivars with up to 30% reduced cyanogenic glucoside content in cassava root. Summary Manihot esculenta (

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 13, Issue 2, Page 342-361, February 2020., 2020 Abstract Amazonia is a major world centre of plant domestication, but the genetics of domestication remains unclear for most Amazonian crops. Manioc (Manihot esculenta) is the most important staple food crop that originated in this region. Although manioc is relatively well‐studied, little is known about the diversification of bitter and sweet ...
