| Morphological characterization and SSR-based DNA fingerprinting of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) |
|---|
The genetic variability of 47 cassava varieties released by the National Seed Industry Council (NSIC) was evaluated through morphological characterization and DNA fingerprinting using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. The DNA fingerprints of cassava varieties have been successfully generated which can be used as a benchmark for identification and authentication of released cassava varieties.
