Exploiting the combination of natural and genetically engineered resistance to cassava mosaic and cassava brown streak viruses impacting cassava production in Africa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) and cassava mosaic disease (CMD) are currently two major viral diseases that severely reduce cassava production in large areas of Sub-Saharan Africa. Natural resistance has so far only been reported for CMD in cassava.

Expansion and impact of cassava brown streak and cassava mosaic diseases in Africa: A review
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022 Africa produces over half of global cassava; however, the continent's average yield is below the potential yields achieved under experimental conditions. Many factors contributing to low yield include lack of quality varieties, poor soils, limited access

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.In this study maize chloroplastic malate dehydrogenase7 (ZmMDH7), is identified as a Rhizoctonia solani resistance gene in maize. ZmMDH7 is regulated by transcription factor ZmWRKY44 via pathogens challenge to elevate mitochondrial ROS and SA signaling pathway.

Targeting dCas9‐SunTag to a Susceptibility Gene Promoter Is Sufficient for CRISPR Interference
Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Cassava production in sub‐Saharan Africa is severely impacted by diseases. Most pathogens require interaction with host susceptibility factors to complete their life cycles and cause disease. Targeted DNA methylation is an epigenetic strategy to alter gene expression in plants, and we previously reported that a zinc‐finger fused to DMS3 could ...

Biotechnology Reports, 2019 Cassava mosaic disease (CMD), caused by geminiviruses, is a major hurdle to cassava production. Due to the heterozygous nature of cassava, breeding for virus resistance is difficult, but cassava has been shown to be a good candidate for genetic ...

Scientific Reports, 2023 Cassava mosaic disease is caused by a complex of whitefly-transmitted begomoviruses, which often occur in co-infections. These viruses have bipartite genomes consisting of DNA-A and DNA-B that are encapsidated into separate virions.

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