Abstract
Starch, the most important component in cassava, has been largely used by the food industry. This work aimed at evaluating the starch content variation (%) in six cultivars namely Fecula Branca, Olho Junto, Fibra, Verdinha, Espeto and Mico. Planting took place from October 1998 in Marechal Cândido Rondon, Brazil. Cultivars were sampled between the 7th and the 10th month of plant life. Starch content evaluation (%) was calculated by the hydrostatics scale method. Fecula Branca, Olho Junto and Fibra cultivars presented the largest amount of starch content, 29.7%, 29.1% and 29.1% respectively. The Mico cultivar, on the other hand, had the poorest performance regarding starch accumulation, 25.0%. As for the starch content profile along the periods studied, it was verified that the Fecula Branca, Olho Junto, Verdinha and Espeto showed a stable pattern, while the Fibra and Mico cultivars tended to develop more progressively.

The CBAB – CROP BREEDING AND APPLIED BIOTECHNOLOGY (ISSN 1984-7033) – is the official quarterly journal of the Brazilian Society of Plant Breeding, abbreviated CROP BREED APPL BIOTECHNOL.
It publishes original scientific articles, which contribute to the scientific and technological development of plant breeding and agriculture. Articles should be to do with basic and applied research on improvement of perennial and annual plants, within the fields of genetics, conservation of germplasm, biotechnology, genomics, cytogenetics, experimental statistics, seeds, food quality, biotic and abiotic stress, and correlated areas. The article must be unpublished. Simultaneous submitting to another periodical is ruled out. Authors are held solely responsible for the opinions and ideas expressed, which do not necessarily reflect the view of the Editorial board. However, the Editorial board reserves the right to suggest or ask for any modifications required. The journal adopts the Ithenticate software for identification of plagiarism.
