Global Cassava Germplasm Resources: Industrial and Technological Development

Food and Energy Security, Volume 14, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT The main cassava‐producing regions include Africa, South America, Southeast Asia, and China. Due to significant differences in natural environments, industrial backgrounds, and technological resources for germplasm development across these regions, the utilization of cassava germplasm resources shows regional variation.

Response of Selected Cassava Varieties to the Incidence and Severity of Cassava Brown Streak Disease in Tanzania

Journal of Agricultural Science, 2012
Cassava brown streak virus disease (CBSD) has been a serious and most damaging disease in cassava crop throughout the East, Central and Southern part of Africa. Several cassava varieties invariably respond to the disease, but the effect of the disease on affected varieties was not known.

Genetic architecture of anthocyanin pigment traits and purple spot (Stemphylium vesicarium) resistance in an F1 pseudo‐testcross population of asparagus

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract Stemphylium vesicarium (Wallr.) Simmons is a plant pathogenic fungus causing purple spot in both fern and spears of asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.). Although the fern can be sprayed with fungicides to control the disease, pesticide applications during spear harvest are restricted.

The Transcriptome Response of African and South American Cassava (Manihot esculenta) to Infection by East African Cassava Mosaic Virus‐Uganda

Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 4, Page 1068-1077, May 2025.
The early defence response in cassava plants is associated with EACMV‐Ug resistance, while the susceptible varieties' response is delayed and expresses fewer unique differentially expressed genes. ABSTRACT Cassava mosaic begomoviruses (CMBs) cause the economically important cassava mosaic disease (CMD) in cassava.

Epidemiological analysis of Cassava Mosaic and Brown Streak Diseases, and Bemisia tabaci in the Comoros Islands [PDF]

, 2023
A comprehensive assessment of cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) and cassava mosaic disease (CMD) was carried out in Comoros where cassava yield (5.7 t/ha) is significantly below the African average (8.6 t/ha) largely due to virus diseases. Observations

The potential of bacteriocins and bacteriophages to control bacterial disease of crops with a focus on Xanthomonas spp.

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 302-326, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Crop production plays a crucial role in ensuring global food security and maintaining economic stability. The presence of bacterial phytopathogens, particularly Xanthomonas species (a key focus of this review), poses significant threats to crops, leading to substantial economic losses.

Economic feasibility of using cassava root affected by cassava brown streak disease in poultry feeds in Mwanza

, 2015
DissertationCassava brown streak disease is a destructive disease that causes loss of cassava root in terms of production volume and quality. The disease was reported in Tanzania for the first time in 1936. The disease causes root rotting, the rotting is
