Evaluation of susceptibility of cassava germplasm to cassava mosaic disease
Journal of the National Science Foundation of Sri Lanka, 2008 Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) caused by geminiviruses is one of the important diseases of cassava Manihot esculenta Crantz causing severe yield loss. Use of resistant varieties is the most feasible measure to manage virus diseases. Eleven germplasms of cassava including Kirikavadi, MU51 and CARI 555 that are recommended and released for cultivation by ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Gender responsive and more socially inclusive breeding strategies are needed to ensure new crop varieties, which offer greater yields in an increasingly variable climate, meet the needs of a diverse range of smallholder farmers. Participatory varietal selection actively involves farmers in testing and selecting new varieties at the end of the breeding ...

Efficient CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing of Phytoene desaturase in Cassava
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 CRISPR/Cas9 has become a powerful genome-editing tool for introducing genetic changes into crop species. In order to develop capacity for CRISPR/Cas9 technology in the tropical staple cassava (Manihot esculenta), the Phytoene desaturase (MePDS) gene was ...

, 2017 Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is a preventable tragedy that affects millions of people, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. A large proportion of these people rely on diets based on cassava as a source of calories. During the last two decades, significant efforts have been made to identify sources of germplasm with high pro-vitamin A carotenoids (pVAC ...

Applying large language models to extract information from crop trait prioritization studies
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Investigation of farmers', consumers', and other stakeholders' trait preferences is vital for the adoption and impact of improved crop varieties. While qualitative research methods are known to increase the depth and scope of information from respondents, only 5% of previous trait preference studies used qualitative data in their analyses. We show that

Cassava Trait Preferences of Men and Women Farmers in Nigeria: Implications for Breeding
Economic Botany, 2018 Nigeria is the world’s largest cassava producer, hosting a diverse array of cassava farmers and processors. Cassava breeding programs prioritize “common denominator” traits in setting breeding agendas, to impact the largest possible number of people ...
