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 (

Tropical Plantains, Tubers, and Roots: Advancing Food Quality, Safety, and Processing Innovations for Global Nutritional Equity. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Plantains, tubers, and roots (PTRs) represent strategic nutritional and caloric pillars for over 500 million people across tropical regions. This review evaluates traditional bioprocessing against eco‐innovative thermomechanical and non‐thermal technologies (HPP, extrusion, encapsulation) to overcome severe post‐harvest losses and antinutritional risks.

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 ...

Ceratobasidium sp. is associated with cassava witches’ broom disease, a re-emerging threat to cassava cultivation in Southeast Asia

Scientific Reports, 2023
Cassava witches' broom disease (CWBD) is a devastating disease of cassava in Southeast Asia (SEA), of unknown etiology. Affected plants show reduced internodal length, proliferation of leaves and weakening of stems.

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.
