In: In: Cassava Mosaic Workshop (1972, Ibadan, Nigeria). ProceedingsSummary: Se discuten las actividades adelantadas hasta el presente por el IITA en el mejoramiento genetico por resistencia al mosaico de la yuca en Africa. Inicialmente se hicieron cruzamientos entre hibridos interespecificos (Manihot glaziovii x M. esculenta, cuya progenie se retrocruzo a la primera especie) y cultivares locales de M. esculenta con otras caracteristicas agronomicas deseables. Con base en las observaciones de resistencia de campo (escala 1-5; 1=menor grado de clorosis, deformacion y reduccion del tamano de hojas) se detectaron algunos materiales en las categorias 1 y 2 (resistentes), pero entre las poblaciones de America Latina no se observaron materiales en estas categorias. Se concluyo que: 1) existe resistencia al mosaico africano de la yuca; 2) aparentemente no hay materiales resistentes entre los cultivares de M. esculenta cultivados en Africa; 3) aparentemente, la resistencia esta bajo control genetico de genes cuantitativos; 4) existe la posibilidad de lograr mayores niveles de resistencia y de incorporacion en variedades con altos rendimientos. (CIAT)Summary: A report is given of activities carried out by IITA in their breeding for resistance to cassava mosaic in Africa. Initially crosses were made between interspecific hybrids (Manihot glaziovii x M. esculenta whose progeny were backcrossed to M. glaziovii) and local cultivars of M. esculenta with other desiderable agronomic characteristics. On the basis of field resistance (rated on a scale of 1-5; 1=least degree of chlorosis, deformation and reduction in leaf size), some resistant material (grades 1-2) was found but not among Latin American populations. It is concluded that (1) there is resistance to cassava African mosaic; (2) there is apparently no resistant material among M. esculenta cultivars in Africa; (3) resistance is apparently controlled genetically by quantitative genes; and (4) it is possible to obtain higher levels of resistance and incorporated them in highyielding varieties.
