dcterms.abstractSe revisan los avances en el mejoramiento de la yuca durante una decada hasta 1985 por CIAT y el International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (Nigeria). Los temas tratados cubren recursos de germoplasma en el genero Manihot; citogenetica en Manihot spp.; coleccion y conservacion de germoplasma; comportamiento de la floracion, tecnica de hibridacion y manejo de la semilla; estrategias de mejoramiento genetico en Africa, America Latina y Asia; y la base fisiologica del alto rendimiento, con referencia especial a la importancia del habito de crecimiento de la planta y criterios/procedimientos para seleccionar genotipos de alto rendimiento. Los diferentes usos de la yuca requieren que el mejoramiento se concentre en 1) la calidad de raices (HCN, contenido y calidad del almidon, deterioro poscosecha y contenido de proteina); 2) tolerancia a condiciones de estres (acidez del suelo, bajo P, sequia y baja temp.) y 3) resistencia a enfermedades y plagas, con referencia especial al CAMD, Xanthomonas campestris pv. Manihotis, enfermedades fungicas (Colletotrichum spp. y Elsinoe brasiliensis, entre otras), acaros (Mononychellus tanajoa y M. Mcgregori, Tetranychus urticae y Oligonychus peruvianus), piojos harinosos (Phenacoccus spp.) y trips. Se discuten aspectos sobre la distribucion y multiplicacion de germoplasma. Datos indican que los rendimientos prom. de yuca han aumentado en las areas de impacto de ambos programas. (CIAT) spa The advances in cassava breeding over a decade up to 1985 by CIAT and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (Nigeria) are reviewed. Topics dealt with include germplasm resources in the genus Manihot; cytogenetics of Manihot spp.; germplasm collection and conservation; flowering behavior, hybridization technique, and seed management; breeding strategies in Africa, Latin America, and Asia; and the physiological basis of high yield with special reference to the significance of plant habit and criteria/procedures for selecting high-yielding genotypes. The different uses of cassava require breeding to be focussed on (1) root quality (HCN, starch content and quality, postharvest deterioration, and protein content); (2) tolerance to stress (soil acidity, low P, drought, and low temp.), and (3) resistance to diseases and pests with special reference to CAMD, Xanthomonas campestris pv. Manihotis, fungal diseases (Colletotrichum spp. and Elsinoe brasiliensis, among others), mites (Mononychellus tanajoa y M. mcgregori, Tetranychus urticae, and Oligonychus peruvianus), mealybugs (Phenacoccus spp.), and thrips. Germplasm distribution and multiplication aspects are discussed. Data indicate that av. cassava yields have increased in the impact areas of both programs. (CIAT) engen_US
