This study uses image analysis and genome-wide association to identify QTLs for cassava root shape and size traits, finding lower predictive accuracy compared to other traits but promising for high-throughput methods.

The paper identifies beneficial introgressed alleles from M. glaziovii in modern cassava germplasm, showing they improve traits like yield and disease tolerance and are under balancing selection.

This paper identifies genetic markers for dry matter and carotenoid content in cassava, finding physical linkage rather than pleiotropy explains their negative correlation.

The paper constructs a cassava haplotype map to evaluate deleterious mutations, finding increased fixed deleterious variants, limited purging due to low recombination, and masking of harmful mutations in breeding.
