Evaluation of Cassava Genotypes for Agronomic Performance, Correlation with CMD and CBSD Parameters and Stability across Alupe, Kakamega and Kibos in Western Kenya

Journal of Experimental Agriculture International, 2020
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is constrained by the two biotic constraints namely, cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava brown streak disease (CBSD). The aim of this study was to evaluate elite cassava genotypes for variation in agronomical traits, correlate them to CMD and CBSD parameters and identify ...

Co‐designing restrictive practice elimination: A systems thinking approach with mental health service users and practitioners in rural/regional Australia

International Journal of Mental Health Nursing, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 1564-1574, October 2024.
Abstract Elimination of restrictive practices (physical/mechanical restraint and seclusion) from adult acute mental health care services has been demanded internationally for many decades. This study aimed to: (1) Identify priority issues in the elimination of and use of alternative approaches to restrictive practices (seclusion and physical/mechanical

Transcriptional response of virus-infected cassava and identification of putative sources of resistance for cassava brown streak disease [PDF]

, 2014
Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is a major food staple in sub-Saharan Africa, which is severely affected by cassava brown streak disease (CBSD). The aim of this study was to identify resistance for CBSD as well as to understand the mechanism of putative ...

Editing of the MeSWEET10a promoter yields bacterial blight resistance in cassava cultivar SC8

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 25, Issue 10, October 2024.
Cassava cultivar South China No. 8 plants with an edited EBETALE20 region of the MeSWEET10a promoter displayed increased resistance to Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis strain Xam11 without yield penalty. Abstract Cassava starch is a widely used raw material for industrial production and food source for people. However, cassava bacterial blight (CBB)

Adoption determinants of improved cassava varieties and intercropping among East and Central African smallholder farmers

Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 292-310, June 2024.
Abstract A key constraint to cassava productivity in Africa is the lack of adoption of improved cassava varieties tolerant to pests and diseases. To understand the drivers of adoption behavior, we examine the simultaneous adoption of improved cassava varieties and intercropping by 1200 smallholder farmers in Malawi, Tanzania, and Uganda. Using a linear
