Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is an economically important crop that is grown in tropical and sub-tropical regions. Use of molecular technology for genetic improvement of cassava has been limited by the lack of a large set of DNA markers and a genetic map. Therefore, the aims here were to develop addi...
