食用木薯新品种桂木薯9号的选育及适应性研究OACSCDCSTPCD

Edible cassava is an important food crop in the world and a characteristic potato crop in South China.New edible varieties with high β-carotene and excellent comprehensive quality are one of the important directions of cassava breeding.Manihot esculenta Crantz cv.Gui 9 was obtained from immature fruits,using embryo rescue technology,which were harvested from in-bred crossing population using XX048 as the female.The main characters of the variety were erect plant type,tubers distributed horizontally,cylindrical conical in shape,tubers of light brown skin,pink en-dothelium and orange flesh.The fresh tuber yield was(45.12±7.04)t/hm2 and(40.84±3.88)t/hm2 respectively in the regional test and production test.The starch content of fresh tuber detected was 26.3%,β-carotene content was 454 μg/100 g,hydrocyanic acid content was 10-20 mg/kg,tatal sugar content was 2.0 g/100 g,dietary fiber and potas-sium content was 4.43 g/100 g and 553 mg/100 g respectively.Gui 9 is an edible cassava variety in China with the highest β-carotene content in tuber at present,rich in β-carotene,dietary fiber and minerals,fresh taste crisp and sweet,known as"carrot cassava",with unique advantages in color and taste in cooking and making cassava juice.Gui 9 has high yield and strong adaptability with moderately resistance to cinnabar Tetranychus mites,and is suitable for dense planting and mechanical harvesting.It could be popularized in cassava producing areas such as Guangxi,Guangdong,Hainan and Jiangxi provinces.The breeding of Gui 9 would provide variety support for the development of cassava food,and promote the quality improvement,efficiency increase and sustainable development of cassava industry.
