| Abstract | A collection of cassava land races was carried out all over Guatemala in May last year (Azurdia and Gomez 2002). A total of 128 accessions were collected in the departments of Baja Verapaz, Quiche, Huehuetenango, Alta Verapaz, San Marcos, Escuintla y Santa in Guatemala. See Guatemalan study on the MOLCAS web site (http://www.ciat.cgiar.org/Molcas) for names of accessions. For comparison with results of previous studies, DNA from 6, 11 and 12 cassava land races from Nigeria, Colombia y Brazil respectively were included, making 4 samples for the analysis of genetic diversity and differentiation. DNA from the Guatemalan accessions was isolated at the Facultad de Agronomia, Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala using a micro-prep protocol of the Dellarporta (1983) methodology and transferred to CIAT. DNA from the other accessions was obtained from previous studies at CIAT. |
