Production of virus-free cassava through hot water therapy and two rounds of meristem tip culture

Cogent Food & Agriculture, 2020
Cassava genetic resources are highly threatened by devastating viral diseases. It is therefore important to conserve the specifically farmer-preferred landraces/cultivars that are highly susceptible. The study assessed the efficiency of hot water therapy

Response of cassava cultivars to African cassava mosaic virus infection across a range of inoculum doses and plant ages.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Cassava production in Africa is constrained by cassava mosaic disease (CMD) that is caused by the Cassava mosaic virus (CMV). The aim of this study was to evaluate the responses of a range of commonly cultivated West African cassava cultivars to varying ...

Evolution of African cassava mosaic virus by recombination between bipartite and monopartite begomoviruses

Virology Journal, 2012
Background Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) is a major constraint on cassava cultivation in Africa. The disease is endemic and is caused by seven distinct cassava mosaic geminiviruses (CMGs), some of them including several variants.

Differential miRNA profiles in South African cassava mosaic virus-infected cassava landraces reveal clues to susceptibility and tolerance to cassava mosaic disease

Virus Research, 2021
Specific miRNA families are involved in susceptibility or antiviral immunity in plants. Manihot esculenta Crantz (cassava) is a perennial plant that is an important food security crop in sub-Saharan Africa. Cassava is susceptible to several begomoviruses that cause cassava mosaic disease (CMD).

High-Throughput Virus Screening in Crosses of South American and African Cassava Germplasm Reveals Broad-Spectrum Resistance against Viruses Causing Cassava Brown Streak Disease and Cassava Mosaic Virus Disease

Agronomy, 2022
Screening cassava lines for resistance against viruses causing cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) is cumbersome because of the unpredictable and erratic virus infections in the slow plant infection processes that are frequently not associated with ...

Evaluation of susceptibility of cassava germplasm to cassava mosaic disease

Journal of the National Science Foundation of Sri Lanka, 2008
Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) caused by geminiviruses is one of the important diseases of cassava Manihot esculenta Crantz causing severe yield loss. Use of resistant varieties is the most feasible measure to manage virus diseases. Eleven germplasms of cassava including Kirikavadi, MU51 and CARI 555 that are recommended and released for cultivation by ...
