PLDC‐Net: A Domain‐Specific Base Model for Plant Leaf Disease Classification Domain Adaptation Tasks

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant diseases are the cause of heavy losses of crop production and, therefore, a big contributor to food shortages. Identifying these diseases as early as possible is important to limit the negative effects that these diseases have on the yields, as slow response time will lead to the spread of diseases and further loss.

The progressive modernization of cassava breeding programs at International Institute of Tropical Agriculture and future prospects

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Modernizing cassava breeding programs (CBPs) is critical to increase genetic gain, close the yield gap, and ensure food availability, accessibility, and affordability to support livelihood transformation and economic development in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA).

Plant pathogen profiling with the EpiPvr package

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 837-849, March 2026.
Abstract This study introduces a flexible framework for epidemiological profiling of insect‐borne plant pathogens (IBPPs), utilising readily available experimental data. The framework is applicable to most IBPPs transmitted by insects feeding on plant veins, with particular relevance to whitefly‐borne viruses that impact cassava production in sub ...

Molecular characterization of the Cassava brown streak virus coat protein [PDF]

Plant Pathology, 2001
A partial sequence of 1114 nucleotides of a virus from cassava brown streak diseased (CBSD) material was obtained. Alignment of the predicted amino acid sequence with those of other members of the Potyviridae showed closest identity with the coat protein of Sweet potato ...

Diversity and Distribution of Whiteflies Colonizing Cassava in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo

Insects, 2022
The present study characterizes Bemisia tabaci and Bemisia afer from cassava in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The Mitochondrial COI sequencing revealed the occurrence of six cassava B.

Matrix Relevance Learning From Spectral Data for Diagnosing Cassava Diseases

IEEE Access, 2021
We discuss the use of matrix relevance learning, a popular extension to prototype learning algorithms, applied to a three-class classification task of diagnosing cassava diseases from spectral data.

Realized Genetic Gain in Spittlebugs (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) Resistance and Tolerance at CIAT's Interspecific Urochloa Breeding Programme

Plant Breeding, Volume 145, Issue 1, Page 132-141, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Interspecific Urochloa recurrent selection breeding programme at CIAT aims to integrate desirable traits such as resistance and tolerance to spittlebugs (Hemiptera: Cercopidae), the main insect pest affecting these pastures in Latin America.

Evaluating the Efficacy of Convolutional Neural Networks: Disease Detection in Crops

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Crop diseases pose a significant risk to agricultural productivity, particularly in sub‐Saharan Africa, where cassava (Manihot esculenta), plantain (Musa paradisiaca), and cocoa (Theobroma cacao) serve as essential crops. There is an urgent need for innovative plant disease detection methods to enhance control measures and preventive strategies to ...

Distribution and Molecular Diversity of Whitefly Species Colonizing Cassava in Kenya

Insects, 2021
The whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadium, Hemiptera) has been reported to transmit viruses that cause cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

Improving Taro (Colocasia esculenta [L.] Schott.) Genotypes for Resistance to Taro Leaf Blight Disease in Ghana

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study explored the variation in taro leaf blight disease (TLBD) in Colocasia esculenta by examining five parent genotypes and their corresponding 20 single‐cross hybrids. A full diallel crossing design was employed and assessed under both naturally occurring field infections and controlled artificial inoculations.
