Seasonal control of storage organ formation: new varieties tolerant to heat-stress
These lines produce high yields under temperatures over 30 ºC, thus being suitable to be cultivated in tropical areas. Collaboration with research Institutes in Africa and India will help selecting varieties with stable SP6A gene expression at high temperatures, adequate for cultivation in warm impoverished areas, to ensure food chain supply. Research in cassava will also contribute to define if similar regulatory pathways play a role in tuberous root formation, these findings being made extensive to other tropical crops.
