Magnesium chelatase subunit D is not only required for chlorophyll biosynthesis and photosynthesis, but also affecting starch accumulation in Manihot esculenta Crantz

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background Magnesium chelatase plays an important role in photosynthesis, but only a few subunits have been functionally characterized in cassava. Results Herein, MeChlD was successfully cloned and characterized.

Cassava Witches’ Broom Disease in Southeast Asia: A Review of Its Distribution and Associated Symptoms

Plants, 2023
Cassava witches’ broom disease (CWBD) is one of the main diseases of cassava in Southeast Asia (SEA). Affected cassava plants show reduced internodal length and proliferation of leaves (phyllody) in the middle and top part of the plant, which results in ...

Systematic Analysis of bHLH Transcription Factors in Cassava Uncovers Their Roles in Postharvest Physiological Deterioration and Cyanogenic Glycosides Biosynthesis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins are a large superfamily of transcription factors, and play a central role in a wide range of metabolic, physiological, and developmental processes in higher organisms.

Cassava Frogskin Disease: Current Knowledge on a Re-Emerging Disease in the Americas

Plants, 2022
Cassava frogskin disease (CFSD) is a graft-transmissible disease of cassava reported for the first time in the 1970s, in Colombia. The disease is characterized by the formation of longitudinal lip-like fissures on the peel of the cassava storage roots ...

Measurement of Dry Matter and Starch in Modern Cassava Genotypes during Long Harvest Cycles

Horticulturae, 2023
Starch (ST) is the main determinant of cassava root industrial quality and is routinely quantified using the specific gravity (SG) method, which is simple but lacks precision. This study aimed to estimate the dry matter (DM) and ST content in nine modern

Flower Development in Cassava Is Feminized by Cytokinin, While Proliferation Is Stimulated by Anti-Ethylene and Pruning: Transcriptome Responses

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Cassava, a tropical storage-root crop, is a major source of food security for millions in the tropics. Cassava breeding, however, is hindered by the poor development of flowers and a low ratio of female flowers to male flowers.

Genotype × Environment Interaction of Mosaic Disease, Root Yields and Total Carotene Concentration of Yellow-Fleshed Cassava in Nigeria

International Journal of Agronomy, 2012
Twenty-one yellow-fleshed cassava genotypes were evaluated over two years in five major cassava growing agroecological zones in Nigeria. The trials were established in a randomized complete block design with four replications to assess genotype ...
