Abstract:Background: Cassava production faces threat from postharvest physiological deterioration (PPD). The PPD is usually observed within the first 72 hours of harvest. Therefore, extending the shelf-life of cassava root-tubers by few days could reduce appreciable financial losses. Objective: This study is aimed to investigate effects of sucrose and ascorbic acid on induction and shelf-life of micro-tubers of cassava cultivars using an In-vitro model. Method: Effect of sucrose (30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 g/L) on the micro… Show more
