The highest average DMC (35.1%) was observed in progeny derived from the parental genotype TMS30572, while the lowest average DMC (28.5%) was recorded for the progeny derived from parental genotype Bamunanika. With the exception of progeny from the parental genotype MH95/0469 that had positive skewness (0.20), all other parental genotypes had progeny data that were negatively skewed. The data further indicated (with the exception of S1 progeny from TMS 30572) that over 60% of the progeny had DMC values less than 35%. ID associated with DMC varied between 2 to 23.8%; progeny of parental genotypes MH95/0469 and 95/SE-00036 had ID for DMC of only 2%. The analysis of variance data for amylose content in the S1 cassava families is presented in Table 3
