dc.description.abstractConventional cassava breeding has yielded a lot of progress for many traits including pest and disease resistance and high yields but little progress has been made with respect to drought tolerance. It is believed that molecular breeding offers a possibility of efficiency and precision in introgression of drought tolerant genes. Several studies show that several genes respond to drought stress and some of them have been used to improve stress tolerance of plants through gene transformation. Unfortunately such studies have not been carried out in cassava. This research is aimed at identifying genes responsive to drought stress in cassava using Real-Time PCR. Identification of drought tolerance genes will help in understanding the mechanisms of drought tolerance in cassava and may be useful in developmental of drought tolerant crops through genetic transformation. The research has only just started by first observing response of 53 cassava genotypes under water stress conditions.en_US
