Spontaneous Sexual Triploids from Intraspecific Crosses of Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz): Molecular Evidence

Key Points

• Spontaneously generated triploids were identified in cassava, enhancing genetic diversity.
• Key metric reveals the presence of triploids through genetic analysis of intraspecific crosses.
• Molecular evidence supports the generation of triploids in cassava using intraspecific breeding techniques.
• Insights contribute to understanding cassava's genetic variation, highlighting possible agricultural benefits.
