Novel SNP markers and other stress-related genomic regions associated with nitrogen use efficiency in cassava

Frontiers in Plant Science
Cassava productivity is constrained by low soil nitrogen, which is predominant in most cassava-growing regions in the tropics and subtropical agroecology. Improving the low nitrogen tolerance of cassava has become an important breeding objective.

The importance of wild meat and freshwater fish for children's nutritional intake in the Congo Basin

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat and freshwater fish are widely consumed in the Congo Basin, but in some areas, they are at risk of disappearing due to unsustainable hunting and fishing and changes in their habitat. Wild meat is also at risk of being eliminated from local diets due to potential policy changes such as wild meat bans.

Components of resistance of cassava to African cassava mosaic virus

European Journal of Plant Pathology, 1996
Components of resistance of cassava (Manihot esculenta) to African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) and their interrelationships were confirmed and quantified in a series of experiments at Adiopodoume (Ivory Coast, West-Africa). The response to virus infection and toBemisia tabaci infestation of a large collection of cassava, including local cultivars and ...
