Controlled crosses by vector insects resulted in the production of interspecific hybrids of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) and Manihot species, while manual crosses failed. Marker genes for hairy stem, red disk, unribbed fruit, and foliaceous brackteoles proved efficient in recognizing interspecific hybridization between Manihot species and cassava.
