Progress and Impacts of “Omics” Technologies in Understanding the Drought Response in Cassava: Adoption for Food Security in Africa

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Cassava is a crucial staple crop in Africa, but its productivity is increasingly threatened by the worsening impacts of drought caused by climate change. To address this challenge, an integration of “omics” and genome editing technologies has emerged as indispensable tools for understanding the complex mechanisms that govern cassava's response
