Research on motor neuron diseases konzo and neurolathyrism : trends from 1990 to 2010 [PDF]
Konzo (caused by consumption of improperly processed cassava, Manihot esculenta) and neurolathyrism (caused by prolonged overconsumption of grass pea, Lathyrus sativus) are two distinct non-infectious upper motor neurone diseases with identical clinical ...

Transformation in Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)
Cassava is cultivated throughout the tropics for its starchy, tuberous roots. In Africa it plays an important role as a subsistence crop, while in Latin America cassava is also an industrial crop that is processed into more than 300 products. In Asia it is mainly used for the production of animal feed and for exportation. In terms of caloric production

The origin of Manihot esculenta Crantz (Euphorbiaceae) [PDF]
Contrary to views that cassava (Manihot esculenta) is only known in cultivation an argument is made that wild accessions of the species grow over much of the American neotropics, in Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Venezuela, Guyana, and Surinam. Three subspecies are recognized. M. esculenta subsp. esculenta is the domesticate and includes all cultivars known in

Annotation and validation of genes involved in photosynthesis and starch synthesis from a Manihot full-length cDNA library [PDF]
A full-length cDNA library from leaf and root tissues of cassava (Manihot esculenta) Arg7 and one accession of its wild ancestor W14 (M. esculenta ssp. flabellifolia) has been constructed.

With global weather patterns becoming more extreme and unpredictable, sourcing reliable irrigation water is vital for improving food security and conserving drinking water in drought‐prone areas. Emerging desalination technologies, which are still in the development phase, could potentially provide large quantities of slightly saline water for ...

Case of escape in cassava, Manihot esculenta Crantz
Two cassava escapes where collected from cultivated fields near natural habitat in Bolivia. They are described morphologically and analyzed cytogenetically in this study. It is suggested that they are the product of backcrosses of cassava interspecific hybrids with the cultigen itself, and that selective conditions have developed in which certain forms

Recent advances in improving yield and immunity through transcription factor engineering
Recent advances have demonstrated that modulating transcription factors can help balance growth and immunity, which is critical to achieving high yield and disease resistance in crops. This review provides a perspective on how specific transcription factors can be engineered to enhance growth and immunity simultaneously. ABSTRACT Transcription factors (
