CRISPR/Cas‐based tools for the targeted control of plant viruses
Plant viruses pose a major threat to global food security. In this review we provide an overview of the use and limitations of CRISPR/Cas‐based technology for resistance against DNA and RNA viruses in plants. Abstract Plant viruses are known to infect most economically important crops and pose a major threat to global food security.

Summary Microbiota colonize every accessible plant tissue and play fundamental roles in plant growth and health. Soybean stay‐green syndrome (SGS), a condition that causes delayed leaf senescence (stay‐green), flat pods and abnormal seeds of soybean, has become the most serious disease of soybean in China.

The role of pathogen‐mediated insect superabundance in the East African emergence of a plant virus
An elevated abundance of insects at the landscape scale is frequently implicated in invasions of the plant pathogens that they carry. We advance ecological understanding of plant disease invasions by showing how landscape data can be used to investigate the causes of insect vector superabundance.

Hygrothermal performance of building envelopes in the tropics under operative conditions : condensation and mould growth risk appraisal [PDF]
Poor indoor hygrothermal performance increases the risk of indoor moisture problems and deterioration due to mould growth, corrosion and damage to archival materials. Hence, proper control of indoor thermohygric intensity abates indoor moisture and its

Fault detection and diagnosis for chillers and AHUs of building ACMV systems [PDF]
Building worldwide contributes to 40\% of the global energy consumption, and most of that is due to Heating, Ventilation, and Air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. A large part of this energy is wasted because of poor maintenance, inevitable degradation, and improperly controlled equipment.

Status of cassava mosaic begomoviruses in farmers’ fields in Ghana
A survey for cassava mosaic disease (CMD) was carried out in Ghana from 2007−2008 to determine the status of cassava mosaic begomoviruses in farmers’ fields. The survey covered cassava growing areas in five major cassava producing regions of Ghana.

Detection of geminiviruses from tropical countries by a double monoclonal antibody ELISA using antibodies to African cassava mosaic virus [PDF]
Using double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) tests, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), which were prepared against particles of a Nigerian isolate of African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV), differentiated African geminiviruses ...
