Genetic transformation of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)

Nature Biotechnology, 1996
Genetic engineering can be used to complement traditional breeding methods in crop plant improvement. Transfer of genes from heterologous species provides the means of selectively introducing new traits into crop plants and expanding the gene pool beyond what has been available to traditional breeding systems.

Localization of mercury and gold in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2020
The potential of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz.) for simultaneous Hg and Au phytoextraction was explored by investigating Hg and Au localization in cassava roots through Micro-Proton Induced X-Ray Emission, High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM) and X-Ray Diffractometry (XRD).

Isoforms of Linamarase in Cassava (Manihot esculenta)

Journal of Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 1997
Linamarase (EC. 3.2.1.21) was purified from different tissues of cassava (leaf, rind and tuber) to compare the kinetic properties and characteristics of the enzyme in these tissues. Purified enzyme preparation appeared as single band of average molecular size 70 kD in SDS-PAGE gels.

FERMENTATION OF CASAVA (Manihot esculenta Crantz)

Journal of Food Science, 1979
ABSTRACT Microorganisms were isolated from traditionally fermented cassava from Cameroon and from fermented cassava in the laboratory. These isolates were examined for their abilities to produce gari flavor. Cassava fermentation was mainly due to lactic acid bacteria. Lactobacillus

The mutagenicity of cassava(Manihot esculentaCrantz) preparations

Food Additives and Contaminants, 1990
Different cassava products were found to contain mutagenic activities in the Ames test. This paper describes how the flavonol quercetin is released during the cooking of fresh cassava leaves, following a process very similar to culinary habits. The hydrolysis of the glucoside(s) and the release of free quercetin has been followed by the monitoring of ...

Transgenic Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)

2001
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) plays a significant role as a carbohydrate source in many tropical countries. In 1997 the world production was an estimated 166.4 million tons of fresh root (FAO/GIEWS 1998). Due to the importance of cassava for the livelihood of millions of people, interest in this crop has increased over the last 15–20 years (Cooke ...

A new diterpene from the stems ofManihot esculenta

Journal of Asian Natural Products Research, 2011
A new diterpene, named yucalexin P-23 (1), together with three known compounds, yucalexin P-15 (2), protocatechuic acid (3), and catalpinic acid (4), was isolated from the stems of Manihot esculenta. Their structures were determined by means of physicochemical evidence and spectral analysis. Compounds 3 and 4 exhibited antimicrobial activity.
