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

Impact of host plant species and whitefly species on feeding behavior of Bemisia tabaci [PDF]
, 2019 Whiteflies of the Bemisia tabaci species complex are economically important pests of cassava. In Africa, they cause greatest damage through vectoring viruses responsible for cassava mosaic disease and cassava brown streak disease. Several cryptic species

Occurrence of African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) and East African cassava mosaic virus – Uganda (EACMV-UG) in
BMC Proceedings, 2011 Methods In this study we attempted to detect and molecularly characterize viruses infecting Jatropha in Eastern Africa (Kenya and Ethiopia). Detection methods will be valuable tools for early screening of plant viruses in order to make appropriate decisions and selection of planting material.

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