Simultaneous CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated editing of cassava eIF4E isoforms nCBP‐1 and nCBP‐2 reduces cassava brown streak disease symptom severity and incidence

Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2018
Summary Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) is a major constraint on cassava yields in East and Central Africa and threatens production in West Africa. CBSD is caused by two species of positive‐sense RNA viruses belonging to the family Potyviridae, genus

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.

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

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 (
