Effect of seed circulation systems on the spread and diversity of Xanthomonas phaseoli pv. manihotis infecting cassava crops of the Colombian Caribbean

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 353-364, January 2026.
Cassava is a lifeline for millions of people across the tropics, but its productivity is at risk from a disease called Cassava Bacterial Blight (CBB). In this study, we explore how the everyday practices of farmers exchanging cassava cuttings—a long‐standing tradition—can shape how the disease spreads and evolves in the Colombian Caribbean.

Molecular epidemiology, genetic diversity and dissemination routes of CMGs in sub-Saharan Africa and the south-west Indian Ocean (SWIO) islands [PDF]

, 2014
Cassava cultivation is associated with a wide range of diseases that seriously undermine the food and economic security in African countries. The most notable of these is CMD, caused by a complex of cassava mosaic geminiviruses (CMGs; Geminiviridae ...

Policy Design for Controlling Set-Point Temperature of ACs in Shared Spaces of Buildings

, 2016
Air conditioning systems are responsible for the major percentage of energy consumption in buildings. Shared spaces constitute considerable office space area, in which most office employees perform their meetings and daily tasks, and therefore the ACs in

Progress and Impacts of “Omics” Technologies in Understanding the Drought Response in Cassava: Adoption for Food Security in Africa

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Cassava is a crucial staple crop in Africa, but its productivity is increasingly threatened by the worsening impacts of drought caused by climate change. To address this challenge, an integration of “omics” and genome editing technologies has emerged as indispensable tools for understanding the complex mechanisms that govern cassava's response

The Transcriptome Response of African and South American Cassava (Manihot esculenta) to Infection by East African Cassava Mosaic Virus‐Uganda

Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 4, Page 1068-1077, May 2025.
The early defence response in cassava plants is associated with EACMV‐Ug resistance, while the susceptible varieties' response is delayed and expresses fewer unique differentially expressed genes. ABSTRACT Cassava mosaic begomoviruses (CMBs) cause the economically important cassava mosaic disease (CMD) in cassava.

A common set of developmental miRNAs are upregulated in Nicotiana benthamiana by diverse begomoviruses

Virology Journal, 2011
Background Begomoviruses are single-stranded DNA viruses that cause economically important diseases of many crops throughout the world and induce symptoms in plants, including enations, leaf curling and stunting, that resemble developmental abnormalities.
