Conteúdo: 	Breeding goals of yield increases, root quality improvement, and disease resistance in cassava are considerably slowed down by biological characteristics of the crop, which includes, a long growth cycle, a heterozygous genetic background and a poor knowledge of the organization of crop diversity. These factors severely hamper the speed and ease of moving around useful genes in cassava. Cassava yield and root quality improvement has thherefore lagged behhind other major staples. The advent of molecular markers, genome studies and, pllant genetic transformation holds promise of proviiding ways around breeding obstacles in long growth cycle and heterozygous crops. A number of these new toools, including a molecular genetic map, markers linked to disease resistance genes, and marker-aided studies of complex traits now exist or are being developed for cassava at CIAT.
