(l-r) Sharon Motomura, Chiedozie Egesi and Joana Norton, of the Next Generation Cassava Breeding project, flash the ’shaka’ sign of ‘aloha’ in front of an international hybridization plot at the University of Hawaii in Hilo. The plot is planted with high-yielding cassava from Africa that is resistant to viruses and elite material from South America with high dry matter and high beta carotenes. The site provides a disease-free environment for testing. PHOTO PROVIDED
