Molecular epidemiology, genetic diversity and phylogeography of cassava mosaic geminiviruses responsibles of cassava mosaic disease in Madagascar

, 2012
Le manioc est l'aliment de base d'un demi-milliard de personnes en Afrique. La maladie de la mosaïque ou cassava mosaic disease (CMD) causée par l'infection des bégomovirus du manioc ou cassava mosaic geminiviruses (CMGs) est une des contraintes majeures de sa culture en Afrique et à Madagascar. Ce travail de thèse traite (1) l'inventaire complet de la

The effect of cassava mosaic disease on the genetic diversity of cassava in Uganda

Euphytica, 2005
Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is a tropical crop that is grown in Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia. Cassava was introduced from Latin America into West and East Africa at two independent events. In Uganda a serious threat to cassava's survival is the cassava mosaic disease (CMD).

CRISPR/Cas‐Mediated Gene Editing in Plant Immunity and Its Potential for the Future Development of Fungal, Oomycete, and Bacterial Pathogen‐Resistant Pulse Crops

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3573-3585, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Pulses provide myriad health benefits and are advantageous in an environmental context as a result of their leguminous nature. However, phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and bacteria pose a substantial threat to pulse production, at times leading to crop failure.

Genome Editing in Root and Tuber Crop Development in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Precision genome editing, particularly using Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR‐associated protein 9 (Cas9), is advancing crop improvement by enabling targeted and efficient genetic modifications. Root and tuber crops such as potato, cassava, sweet potato, and yam are vital for global food and nutritional

Cassava production systems optimized for double output: Seed‐cuttings and root yields

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a strategic crop for food security but continues to face major challenges related to low root yields and the lack of optimized systems for producing high‐quality seed‐cuttings. This study evaluated the effects of different planting densities, varieties, and agrochemical‐based seed‐cutting treatments ...

Response Of Local Cassava Varieties In Uganda To Cassava Mosaic Virus Disease

American Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 2012
Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) resistant varieties have been used to manage CMD in Uganda. In spite the availability of a number of CMD resistant cultivars, several local landraces are continually grown in Uganda because they possess certain desirable traits, which may not have been fully met by the resistant varieties.
