Cassava is a major crop in Sub-Saharan Africa, where it is grown primarily by smallholder farmers. Cassava production is constrained by Cassava mosaic disease (CMD), which is caused by a complex of cassava mosaic begomoviruses (CMBs).

Cassava begomovirus species diversity changes during plant vegetative cycles
Cassava is a root crop important for global food security and the third biggest source of calories on the African continent. Cassava production is threatened by Cassava mosaic disease (CMD), which is caused by a complex of single-stranded DNA viruses ...

Hotspot siRNA Confers Plant Resistance against Viral Infection
A hallmark of antiviral RNA interference (RNAi) is the production of viral small interfering RNA (vsiRNA). Profiling of vsiRNAs indicates that certain regions of viral RNA genome or transcribed viral RNA, dubbed vsiRNA hotspots, are more prone to RNAi ...

The effect of competition on the control of invading plant pathogens [PDF]
1. New invading pathogen strains must compete with endemic pathogen strains to emerge and spread. As disease control measures are often non-specific, i.e.

Emerging viral diseases of plants are recognised as a growing threat to global food security. However, little is known about the evolutionary processes and ecological factors underlying the emergence and success of viruses that have caused past epidemics.

Abstract Argyris & Schön's notion of two types of learning, single‐loop (SLL) and double‐loop learning (DLL), is arguably one of the most popularized categorizations of organizational learning (OL). However, while the concept of DLL is widely cited, it has left a superficial impact on the literature and practice. We argue that the limited impact of DLL

RNAi dependent epigenetic marks on a geminivirus promoter
Nicotiana benthamiana plants were stably transformed with an intron-spliced dsRNA producing construct cognate to bidirectional promoter of African cassava mosaic geminivirus (ACMV) DNA A.

Cassava mosaic disease is significantly affecting cassava production in Ivory Coast. To reduce the impact of the disease, we assessed national germplasm to identify viruses and resistant accessions. Abstract Cassava production in Ivory Coast is hampered by cassava mosaic disease (CMD), which is caused by several begomovirus species. To increase cassava

Cassava mosaic disease is caused by a complex of whitefly-transmitted begomoviruses, which often occur in co-infections. These viruses have bipartite genomes consisting of DNA-A and DNA-B that are encapsidated into separate virions.
