Study of genetic affinities in clones of Manihot esculenta Crantz of economic importance for Cuba
Journal Title: Biotecnología Vegetal - Year 2003, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The genetic affinity were studied between 12 Cassava clones (Manihot esculenta Crantz) after studying the isozymatical systems: Peroxidase, Phenoloxidase and Carbonic Anhidrase. The MAT-GEN program was used for the analyzing results. All the isozymic systems were polymorphous. The dendrogram showed the formation of four groups, according the phylogenetic relations.
