Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)
2014Genetic transformation of plants is an indispensable technique used for fundamental research and crop improvement. Recent advances in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) transformation have facilitated the effective generation of stably transformed cassava plants with favorable traits. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of friable, embryogenic callus

Isozyme Diversity in Cassava Cultivars (Manihot esculenta Crantz)
Biochemical Genetics, 2000Isoenzyme electrophoresis was used as a method to determine genetic diversity in various M. esculenta cultivars collected in the Southwestern (SW) and Northwestern (NW) regions of the State of Parana, in the South region of Brazil, and in cultivars produced at the Agronomic Institute of Campinas (IAC), São Paulo State, Southeastern region of Brazil ...

The mutagenicity of cassava(Manihot esculentaCrantz) preparations
Food Additives and Contaminants, 1990Different cassava products were found to contain mutagenic activities in the Ames test. This paper describes how the flavonol quercetin is released during the cooking of fresh cassava leaves, following a process very similar to culinary habits. The hydrolysis of the glucoside(s) and the release of free quercetin has been followed by the monitoring of ...

Lipids of cassava tubers (Manihot esculenta crantz)
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1974AbstractThe flour from cassava tubers contains about 2.5% of lipids, of which only half is extractable with conventional solvent systems. Extractable lipids are mainly polar in character, the principal group of components being galactosyl diglycerides. A new galactolipid, tetragalactosyl diglyceride, is described for the first time. The component fatty

Transgenic Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)
2001Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) plays a significant role as a carbohydrate source in many tropical countries. In 1997 the world production was an estimated 166.4 million tons of fresh root (FAO/GIEWS 1998). Due to the importance of cassava for the livelihood of millions of people, interest in this crop has increased over the last 15–20 years (Cooke ...

Micropropagation of Manihot esculenta Crantz (Cassava)
1997Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae. The genus Manihot consists of at least 98 species (Rogers and Appan 1973; Hershey 1993) with four centres of diversity: central Brazil, western Mexico, northeast Brazil and eastern Bolivia (Nasser 1978).

Catabolism of linamarin in cassava (Manihot esculenta crantz)
Plant Science, 1997Abstract The catabolism of cyanoglucoside linamarin in cassava was examined by studying the activity and kinetic characteristics of various enzymes involved in these reactions in different tissues. Hydroxy-nitrile-lyase (HNLyase) which catalysed hydrolysis of acetone cyanohydrin to cyanide at pH 5.5 was present in leaf, rind and tuber and showed ...

In vitro flowering in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)
Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture, 1983Meristem-derived plantlets of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) were induced to flower in vitro. Five genotypes out of 13 consistently responded to our culture conditions giving rise to male or female flowers. Male flowers contained anthers in which meiosis occurred and apparently normal pollen grains were formed.
