Evaluation of susceptibility of cassava germplasm to cassava mosaic disease

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

First report of Sri Lankan cassava mosaic virus and Cassava Mosaic Disease in Laos.

open access: yesPlant disease, 2021
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) has been traditionally grown as a subsistence crop in Laos, but in recent years cassava cultivation in this country has expanded and is becoming a 'cash crop' for farmers (Malik et al., 2020). This also means that cassava vegetative seed (stakes) is rapidly multiplied and distributed.

Genetic diversity and phylogeography of cassava mosaic geminiviruses in Madagascar. [S02-12] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) caused by cassava mosaic geminiviruses (CMGs, Geminiviridae) is a major threat on cassava production throughout Africa. In Madagascar, severe symptoms with high prevalence of CMD were observed.

In vitro propagation of three mosaic disease resistant cassava cultivars [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Biotechnology, 2020
Abstract Background Cassava is a staple food for over 800 million people globally providing a cheap source of carbohydrate. However, the cultivation of cassava in the country is facing to viral diseases, particularly cassava mosaic disease (CMD) which can cause up to 95% yield losses.

Stabilisation of Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl China Virus Infectious Clones Through Micro‐Homology Mediated End Joining

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus (TYLCCNV) is a major agricultural pathogen and primary model for circular single‐stranded DNA (cssDNA) virus studies. The infectious clones of TYLCCNV and other cssDNA viruses are usually constructed as two tandem copies of the small viral genomes in Agrobacterium‐mediated T‐DNA vectors.
