Efficient Genetic Transformation and Regeneration of a Farmer-Preferred Cassava Cultivar From Ghana

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Cassava is an important staple crop that provides food and income for about 700 million Africans. Cassava productivity in Africa is limited by viral diseases, mainly cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava brown streak disease (CBSD).

Maf/ham1-like pyrophosphatases of non-canonical nucleotides are host-specific partners of viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases.

PLoS Pathogens, 2022
Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD), dubbed the "Ebola of plants", is a serious threat to food security in Africa caused by two viruses of the family Potyviridae: cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan (U)CBSV.

Analysis of cassava brown streak viruses reveals the presence of distinct virus species causing cassava brown streak disease in East Africa

Journal of General Virology, 2010
Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) isolates were analysed from symptomatic cassava collected between 1997 and 2008 in the major cultivation regions of East Africa. An analysis of complete RNA genomes of seven isolates from Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Uganda and Malawi revealed a common genome structure, but the isolates clearly clustered in two ...

Field evaluation of selected cassava genotypes for cassava brown streak disease based on symptom expression and virus load [PDF]

Virology Journal, 2014
Production of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), a food security crop in sub-Saharan Africa, is threatened by the spread of cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) which manifests in part as a corky necrosis in the storage root. It is caused by either of two virus species, Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV ...

Pro‐Vitamin A Biofortified Cavendish Banana: Trait Stability in the Field

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3327-3344, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Vitamin A deficiency (VAD), a major global health concern, has driven efforts to develop staple crops with enhanced pro‐vitamin A (pVA) content. Delivering meaningful nutritional benefits, however, requires technologies that maintain elevated carotenoid levels under field conditions. Previous proof‐of‐concept work demonstrated that pVA content

Training Population Optimization for Prediction of Cassava Brown Streak Disease Resistance in West African Clones

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018
Cassava production in the central, southern and eastern parts of Africa is under threat by cassava brown streak virus (CBSV). Yield losses of up to 100% occur in cases of severe infections of edible roots.
