Transcriptome integrated metabolic modeling of carbon assimilation underlying storage root development in cassava

Abstract The existing genome-scale metabolic model of carbon metabolism in cassava storage roots, rMeCBM, has proven particularly resourceful in exploring the metabolic basis for the phenotypic differences between high and low-yield cassava cultivars. However, experimental validation of predicted me...
