Conteúdo: | The procedures required to produce genetically transformed cassava were developed and are now in place in a few laboratories in the USA and Europe. Future implementation and sustainability of transgenic technologies for the agronomic improovement of cassava will depend, however, on transferring these capabilities to locations where cassava has an important socioeconomic niche. If successful such countries can apply the technology towards their particular needs, significatly reducing the gap between the technology and its end users. Training scientists from the developing countries in the transgenic biotechnologies is of primary importance in this effort.
