Validation of single nucleotide polymorphism markers associated with hydrogen cyanide, total carotenoid and dry matter contents in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Enhancing total carotenoid content (TCC) and dry matter content (DMC) while simultaneously reducing hydrogen cyanide (HCN) are key objectives in cassava breeding. Although numerous SNP markers have been identified through genome-wide association studies (

Nymphstar: An accurate high‐throughput quantitative method for whitefly (Aleurotrachelus socialis Bondar) resistance phenotyping in cassava

Plant Phenome Journal, 2023
Whitefly (Aleurotrachelus socialis Bondar) is a major pest causing significant economic losses in cassava production systems in North South America. It diminishes cassava's photosynthesis by colonizing leaves, directly feeding on phloem sap, or excreting
