Abstract:

In order to select suitable cassava lines for extending in Hepu, the biological characteristics of 9 cassava lines were observed with the main cultivar variety ‘Nanzhi 199’ as control, and their agronomic and economic characters were determined and the correlation analysis were conducted. The results showed that the branch angles of 9 cassava lines were small, the root lengths were moderate and the main stem heights were above medium. The tuber yield of ‘RC4’ was significantly higher than the control, but other 8 cassava lines had no significant difference. The starch yields of 8 cassava lines such as ‘RC4’ were higher than that of the control. The starch contents of 9 cassava lines were higher than that of the control, among which 5 cassava lines such as ‘RC3’ were significantly or extremely significantly higher than that of the control. The amylose contents of 9 cassava lines were significant or extremely significantly lower than that of the control. The hydrocyanic acid contents of 6 cassava lines such as ‘RC6’ were lower than 50 mg/kg. The results of correlation analysis showed that the tuber yield was extremely significantly positive related to plant height at middle growth stage, plant height at maturity stage and diameter of tuber root, and was significantly positive related to stem diameter. Starch content was significantly positive related to plant height at middle growth stage, plant height at maturity stage and stem diameter. Starch yield was extremely significantly positive related to plant height at middle growth stage, plant height at maturity stage, stem diameter, tuber diameter, tuber yield, and was significantly positive related to starch content. In conclusion, the 9 new cassava lines had good comprehensive characters and were suitable for extending in Hepu. ‘RC3’, ‘RC4’ and ‘RC7’ can be used for further processing. ‘RC5’ and ‘RC10’ can be used for fresh consumption. ‘RC2’, ‘RC6’, ‘RC11’ and ‘RC12’ can be used for both fresh consumption and further processing. ‘RC2’ and ‘RC5’ have great prospects for popularization as edible lines.
