Inflorescence monoecious, terminal, up to 12 cm long (Figure 5). "Sweet" Cassava. Varieties . 35 cm long, a narrow panicle of spikes with all but one branch aggregated on the top 1/3 of the inflorescence primary axis, primary branches ca. Also Known as: yuca. There are more than five thousand varieties of cassava but two common types of cassava are Bitter and Sweet cassava. (B) Flowering at the terminating branch. Pistillate flowers are restricted to the base of the inflorescence. Cassava is one of the most important staple crops in the tropics. Winged fruit. Item Type: Project Material | 65 pages | 2,175 engagements | 154. The cassava seed is oval and 0.7-1.0 cm long. A multiembrioc sac of the hybrid polyploid type . The ovary of each flower is situated below the attachment of the corolla and stamens, a condition referred to as epigynous or inferior. An indigenous yellow cassava clone. Clonal propagation facilitates free exchange of planting material among farmers but is faced by a myriad of challenges such as susceptibility to pests and diseases, accumulation of cyanogens, post-harvest physiological deterioration and a low commercial quality and nutritional value of the starch (Piero et al., 2015). Morphological aspects of M. esculenta inflorescence. There are other reported cases of cassava -like wild species. The inflorescence of cassava (Manihot esculenta, Family Euphorbiaceae), a tropical tuber crop. Figure 4. The plants are started from propagules made from parts of mature stems. Some morphological and agronomic characteristics of stems and their variability in cassava. Stem: Up to 5 m tall, the shoot show apical dominance which suppress the development of secondary shoot. Cassava: Procedures jor growth analysis outlines some of the steps involved in destructive and non destructive growth analysis. Cassava breeding however is hindered by the poor development of flowers and female flowers in particular, since flower development is strongly skewed towards male flowers. Cassava roots do not tolerate freezing temperatures and the best growth is in full sun. Gari, Nigéria. 10 cm long. Capsules about 2 cm subglobose to slightly rounded having prominent wings (This gene of prominent wings served as a morphological marker that came from cassava, see Figure 6). There are two varieties of cassava—sweet and bitter. To study the occurrence of unreduced gametes in cassava, Vasquez and Nassar (1994) used nine cassava clones. One of the two major varieties of cassava is referred to as "sweet" cassava. This is not because it is higher in sugars than other varieties, but because it is less poisonous. Cassava is a principal food crop and a major income earner in Africa. Root: Tap root converted into tuber, usually 5-10 storage roots. Leaves are alternate, varying from subsessile to long petiolated and all except 3 species had palmately lobed leaf. (A) Branching/ramification of SM 1219-9, which is typical of branching type cassava genotypes. Cassava plants (Manihot esculenta Crantz) have obvious abscission zone (AZ) structures in their leaf pulvinus-petioles. The weight of the cassava tuber were taken to be 31.50kg. Early profuse flowering was recorded in-vitro in all ten transgenic plant lines recovered, causing eight lines to die within 21 days of culture. Cassava is cultivated by using cassava stem or setts of 15-20 cm length which is planted vertically at a spacing of 90 x 90 cm. Flower: Male flower pedicillate, stamen 10. An inflorescence of the hybrid polyploid type. Cassava, a tropical storage-root crop, is a major source of food security for millions in the tropics. According to Aka (2009), cassava is the most important food crop in Africa with more than 113 million tons of tuberous roots and their processing products are consumed. After the first fork, two to four second-tier shoots develop and each of them initiates flowers at their shoot apexes (second-tier flowers). Morphological characterization of 16 clones of cassava was investigated abroad (Granda et al., 2000). Endogenous FLOWERING LOCUS T homolog MeFT1 was transgenically overexpressed under control of a strong constitutive promoter in cassava cultivar 60444 to determine its role in regulation of flowering and as a potential tool to accelerate cassava breeding. It is used by more than 800 millions of poor people ().Wild Manihot species are still untapped resources for the genetic enhancement of cassava. Peeled roots. In cassava, flowering is associated with fork-type branching which occurs via outgrowth of axillary meristems subtending the shoot apical meristem (Perera et al. The superelongation disease of cassava: pathogen taxonomy, gibberellin production and characteristics of host resistance. The sweet type is commonly grown rather than bitter one because of its greater yields. 35, each 1–2.8 cm long, light rusty woolly pubescent, each with 6–25 flowers; peduncle ca. The mature fruit is a capsule with a diameter of 1-1.5 cm, and six narrow longitudinal ridges or wings along which it naturally splits open when dry. UNB 700 An Indigenous clone known popularly by "Baiano" UNB 120. World production amounts to about 100 million tons annually from 10 million hectares, of which Africa produces about 40 million tons from about 5 million hectares. These are 2 to 3 inch cuttings with several bud nodes along the length. To date, little is known about cassava AP2/ERF factors, and less is known regarding their roles in regulating abscission zone development. 2013). reported in 2012 average percentages of female flowers across three genotypes of about 11%. In wild species the young stem frequently has a varying degree of pubescence, a character rarely encountered in the cultigen cassava (Grattapaglia et al ., 1986). Depending on the tribe, the inflorescence may consist of ray flowers, disk flowers, or both ray and disk flowers. Female Flower. Cassava is widely grown and used as a staple food in many parts of the tropics. Inflorescence ca. branching point exhibiting a terminal inflorescence. cassava breeding, is common and relatively easy to achieve (Kawano, 1980). In normal conditions, the percentage of female flowers within a cassava inflorescence is lower than 15% (Kawano, 1980; Ogburia and Okele, 2001). We haven't found any reviews in the usual places. to have increased the expression profiles of certain genes, especially those involved in repro-duction, thus producing apomixis. Note the branching pattern of main stem (Ms), 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Habit: A glabrous or sparingly pubescent shrub. Fast Facts. An indigenous yellow cassava clone. (Parkin 1914) Racemose. Cassava originated in South America and was introduced to Africa in relatively recent times. Cassava leaf abscission can be triggered by either 17 days of water-deficit stress or 4 days of ethylene treatment. Third and subsequent tiers of flowering develop similarly. Cassava is a diclinous and monoecious species: Both female (pistillate) and male Inflorescences always develop at the apex of the stem. In this type of inflorescence the main axis does not end in a flower, but it grows continuously and develops flowers on its lateral sides in acropetal succession (acropetal (adj.) - of leaves or flowers; developing or opening in succession from base to apex ). Page 8 There are two major types of cassava, though they are used similarly. A capitulum or head, the characteristic inflorescence of the sunflower family (Asteraceae). Perera et al. … Branching, known in cassava as “forking”, is the axillary bud growth from the apex of the main stem. In Côte d'Ivoire, cassava … The leaves show symptoms of cassava mosaic disease, caused by a virus. These authors also reported the occurrence of hermaphrodite flowers, although at a very low frequency (0.2%). PhD thesis. It also provides guidelines for developing appropriate sampling protocols for the growth analysis of cassava. The first of main floral axis gives rise to two lateral branches and these branches and the succeeding branches bear only one branch each on alternate sides. A most productive use of subsistence land, but all cassava is poisonous containing hydrocyanic acid, with the more toxic varieties. of the inflorescence. Cassava is the most important staple crop in the tropics, where more than 800 million poor people eat this crop (FAO, 2002). Important Instructions: cassava must be cooked—raw cassava is poisonous. Out of these nine, 8 had a normal metaphase, with complete pairing and the formation of 18 bivalents. Botanical Description of Cassava. Sprouting of the buds below the inflorescence allows … ... Metaphase 1 of the hybrid polyploid type. Leaf: Simple, palmately lobed, petiolated. Bracteoles and bractlets are setaceous, color green. Ithaca, New York, USA: Cornell University. An Inflorescence of the hybrid polyploid type. Of the two types of inflorescence Cymose inflorescence is more primitive and Racemose is derived. The inflorescence is formed at the insertion point of the reproductive forking [].The forking of cassava affects the canopy development, yield, and dry matter partitioning [4,6,7], and is related to increasing the leaf area index (LAI) values and cassava yield [7,8,9]. Muruwere, Manica Province of Mozambique. CC-type glutaredoxins (GRXs) are plant-specific glutaredoxin, play regulatory roles in response of biotic and abiotic stress. Cassava is a shrub to about 1-3m, thin stems, large palm-shaped leaves, with high yield of tuberous roots, the main part that is eaten, but also its leaves are edible vegetables. Cassava is clonally propagated using stem cuttings. Growing cassava yuca from start to harvest can take up to 18 months. However, it is not clear whether the CC-type GRXs are involve in drought response in cassava (Manihot esculenta), an important tropical tuber root crop. M. glaziovii, Pernambuco, Lagoa dos Gatos. (Purseglove, 1988). Staminate buds are ovoid. Inflorescence: Terminal or axillary racemes. PRODUCTION OF CASSAVA OF STARCH FROM CASSAVA » ABSTRACT The fresh cassava were sources from Idodo in Nkanu Local Government of Enugu state. 83 Z:\Customer\CABI\A4101 - Hillocks - Cassava\A4212 - Hillocks - Cassava #R.vp Monday, February 04, 2002 11:21:54 AM Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen This type of inflorescence is a condensed form of dichasial (biparous) cyme with a cluster of sessile or sub-sessile flowers in the axil of a leaf, forming a false whorl of flowers at the node. inflorescence structure closely resemble Manihot esculenta". Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is one of the crops that have been conserved by farmers for decades, and it is thought to have been cultivated from 3000 to 7000 years ago in South America (Ng and Ng 2002). Lay the cutting on prepared soil in a pot and keep lightly misted in a sunny location. All these observations indicate a close relationship of M. zehnmeri to cassava. However, thorough cooking denatures the harmful toxins to make it safe to eat. Cassava is an annual root crop that is widely thought to have originated from the Amazon basin (Nassar 2000). Selected pages. Cassava contributes not only to the food and feed but it is also used in manufactures (textile, paper, etc.). Cassava must be peeled before being used and can vary in price, ranging from six to 10 times more than russet potatoes. The sweet cassava contain less linamarin or cyanogenic glucoside which known as toxic substance in cassava. The ninth clone, popularly known as Chioriqui, an indigenous Costa Rican clone, was found to have a sectorial chimera in the inflorescence. Common Uses: similar to potatoes.
