Conteúdo: 	Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a tropical crop grown for its thickened tuberized roots. Since cassava is propagated vegetatively by cuttings derived from stems of field-grown plants, diseases are easily transmitted. This is also true for the spread of viral diseases to which cassava is susceptible. In Africa, large yield losses occur due to cassava mosaic disease (CMD). The aim of this project is to produce disease-free cassava material for research and for distribution as planting material. An in vitro thermotherapy technique was tested for its potential to eliminate viruses in cassava, since conventional techniques may be expensive and time consuming.
