Enhancing Nutrition: A Review of Provitamin A Carotenoid Cassava Breeding Initiatives in East Africa

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Biofortification of staple food stands as one of the most reliable methods of alleviating vitamin A deficiency (VAD). Evidence suggests that introducing provitamin A carotenoid (pVAC) cassava into the diets of preschool and primary school children in East Africa has led to improvements in their retinol levels.

Cassava Brown Streak Disease response and association with agronomic traits in elite Nigerian cassava cultivars [PDF]

, 2022
Cassava mosaic geminiviruses (CMGs) and cassava brown streak viruses (CBSVs) cause the highest yield losses in cassava production in Africa. In particular, cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) is and continues to be a significant constraint to optimal ...

Virus-host interactions in the cassava brown streak disease pathosystem [PDF]

, 2012
The research seeks to understand the virus-host plant interactions for cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) caused by two viruses, Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan Cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV) of the genus Ipomovirus, family Potyviridae.

Insight into Re-emergence of Cassava Brown Streak Disease: the Need to explore Diverse Approaches for Effective Control

Notulae Scientia Biologicae, 2019
The consumption of cassava crop per capita calories in many Africa countries ranked it as the second most important staple food crop. Despite its diverse utilities, the yield potential of cassava is greatly hampered by viral diseases and these differ ...

Progression of Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD) in infected cassava roots in Uganda

, 2012
Cassava Brown Streak disease (CBSD) has and continues to be a major threat to the cassava industry in Uganda. The most economically damaging symptom of CBSD occurs on the roots as a yellow/brown, corky necrosis. However, the onset and development of this

Interaction of genotype and environment effects on important traits of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)

Crop Journal, 2017
General and specific environmental adaptation of genotypes is the main goal of breeders. However, genotype-by-environment (G × E) interaction complicates the identification of genotypes for release.

QTL Mapping for Pest and Disease Resistance in Cassava and Coincidence of Some QTL with Introgression Regions Derived from Manihot glaziovii

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Genetic mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to cassava brown streak disease (CBSD), cassava mosaic disease (CMD), and cassava green mite (CGM) was performed using an F1 cross developed between the Tanzanian landrace, Kiroba, and a ...
