A research team has proposed inbred-parent–based hybrid cassava breeding to overcome the challenges of heterozygous parent use, aiming to transform cassava breeding by purging deleterious mutations and utilizing heterosis. This approach leverages self-compatibility, flower-inducing, and doubled haploid technologies, coupled with genomics advancements.
