What is Marker-Assisted Selection for Cassava Resilience about?

This project aims to identify cassava germplasm in East Africa adapted to biotic and abiotic stresses caused by climate change. Researchers will evaluate accessions for tolerance to stresses like drought, heat, and viral diseases. Candidate genes for tolerance will be identified using molecular tools and analyzed to develop markers for marker-assisted selection in cassava breeding programs. The markers and models developed will help breed new cassava varieties with improved stress tolerance for sustainable
