Cassava (Manihot esculenta) in Uganda is faced with bio5c and abio5c stresses. Gene5c transforma5on has shown great poten5al in cassava gene5c improvement using 5ssue culture techniques like soma5c embryogenesis and organogenesis. The study focused on produc5on of, and regenera5on of friable embryogenic callus (FEC) and apical shoot 5ps (AST) .
