AB  - The current status of tuber crops in Malaysia was reviewed with regard to area planted and usage. The most important are cassava, sweet potato and cocoyam. Future potential of these crops include sources of starch for myriad uses, animal feedstuff and use in convenience foods. Local living collections of germplasm for sweet potato, cassava and edible aroids were reported, together with inherent problems in their maintenance. Alternative conservation systems include duplicate collections, in vitro genebanks, and cryopreservation, with some mention of storing pollen, true seed, storage roots, wild related germplasm and in-situ conservation
