Cassava (Manihot Esculenta Crantz.) Improvement through Gamma Irradiation

The objective of this research was to generate several mutant lines with higher yield and starch content. According to field studies it was found that several cassava mutant lines have higher yield (root fresh weight >10-20kg plant-1). Two mutant lines has a high starch content (>39%). However, diversity on some variables are still found in M1V2 generation of cassava.
