1. To identify transcriptomic profiling during early cassava storage root development by oligo-microarray.
2. To elucidate the correlation of specific gene expression during storage root initiation and during early development.
3. To identify specific genes involving in storage root initiation and starch biosynthesis.
4. To investigate the effect of phytohormone as well as the expression of storage root developmental-related transcription factors on storage root initiation.
