Annotation and validation of genes involved in photosynthesis and starch synthesis from a Manihot full-length cDNA library [PDF]
Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2016 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.

Transformation in Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)
, 1993 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

Investigation of the biodegradation of low-density polyethylene-starch Bi-polymer blends
Results in Engineering, 2020 Starch is one of the most widely available and easily obtainable natural polymers. This makes it an appealing bio-based alternative to synthetic polymers.

Land‐Use Shapes Soil Fungal Communities and Functional Guilds in Tropical Forest Ecosystems
Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.Land‐use change is a major cause of biodiversity loss and soil degradation in tropical regions. The role of soil fungi, including arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), though critical, is often overlooked. AMF communities across cropland, disturbed forest, and undisturbed forest vegetation in southwestern Nigeria were relatively resilient to land‐use ...

Evidence of apomixis in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 1998 Apomixis maintains heterosis and avoids transmission of systemic pathogens which accompany vegetative propagation of cassava. An embryonic study of cleared ovules of two cassava clones in toto showed them to be of aposporic nature. Cytogenetic analysis of the two clones revealed an aneuploid structure (2n + 1) in apomictic individuals, whereas it was ...

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Dhurrin, a cyanogenic glucoside, plays an important role in Sorghum bicolor physiology and defense. The concentration of dhurrin in sorghum is influenced by both nitrogen status and stage of plant organ development. While nitrogen resupply activates the expression of genes for dhurrin biosynthesis, the molecular mechanisms underlying this ...

Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 108, Issue 4, Page 1121-1144, August 2026.Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits.

Case of escape in cassava, Manihot esculenta Crantz
Genetics and Molecular Research, 2017 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
