Genetic, embryonic and anatomical study of an interspecific cassava hybrid.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A molecular, anatomical and cytogenetic study of an interspecific hybrid between Manihot esculenta (cassava) and the wild species M. oligantha was carried out. Cytogenetics revealed relatively complete chromosome pairing and high viability of the pollen grains. Ovule structure examined by the clearing method showed polyembryony in 2.7% of the ovules. Doubling of the chromosome number resulted in an increase in polyembryony of up to 18% and a reduction in pollen viability. Multivalent formation was also observed. An anatomical study of stems of diploid and tetraploid hybrids showed a larger number of vascular bundles in the tetraploid type.

Amino acid profile in cassava and its interspecific hybrid.
Cassava roots have a low-protein content (0.7-2%). Amino acids such as lysine and methionine are also low, and some research reports have indicated the absence of methionine. The amino acid profiles of a common cassava cultivar and an interspecific hybrid, namely ICB 300, were determined using the computerized amino acid analyzer Hitachi L-8500. The interspecific hybrid has 10 times more lysine...
متن کاملEmbryonic, Meiotic and Molecular Analysis of Apomictic Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)
Apomixis genes have been successfully transferred to cassava by hybridizing it with the wild species, M. glaziovii. An interspecific hybrid of cassava and M. glaziovii was left for open pollination during three subsequent generations. Seven sibs and their maternal progenitor of the fourth generation were genotyped using five microsatellite loci previously developed for cassava. All sibs were id...
متن کاملPericlinal chimera technique: new plant breeding approach.
Plant interspecific periclinal chimeras are a mosaic formed by tissues from two species. They are manipulated here as an efficient plant breeding tool for cassava root yields. In this study, plants synthesized from two chimeras, designated as chimera 2 and chimera 4, were characterized morphologically and cytologically to unravel the origin of their tissue layers (L2 and L3). Root yield of the ...
متن کاملApomixis and cassava.
Apomixis means seed formation without fertilization. In cassava (Manihot esculenta) it is an alternative to reproduction by cuttings, which normally transmits pathogens and leads to an accumulation of viral and bacterial diseases. Apomixis also assures preservation of heterosis and avoids genetic segregation. It occurs in wild relatives of cassava and has been transferred successfully from Mani...
متن کاملCassava Leaves as a Source of protein
Analysis of cassava cultivars and interspecific hybrids leaves revealed a protein percentage ranges from 21% to 32%. Polyploid types did not show significant increase. Varieties with low HCN content can be selected to enrich flour of cassava and other grain crops. Interspecific hybrids with very vigorous vegetative growth are good sources of protein. They can be used for raising...
