Progress and Impacts of "Omics" Technologies in Understanding the Drought Response in Cassava: Adoption for Food Security in Africa. [PDF]
Plant Environ InteractABSTRACT Cassava is a crucial staple crop in Africa, but its productivity is increasingly threatened by the worsening impacts of drought caused by climate change. To address this challenge, an integration of “omics” and genome editing technologies has emerged as indispensable tools for understanding the complex mechanisms that govern cassava's response

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

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).
