Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) plays a crucial role in mitigating food problems; however, its productivity is affected by low soil fertility, especially nitrogen deficiency, which is a major constraint to crop growth and yield. The study aimed to evaluate the effects of nitrogen fertilizer and cassava varieties on the agro‐morphological ...

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

Adaptive Responses of Tropical Crops: A Multi‐Scale Omics Integrated Perspective
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 47, 24 August 2026.Tropical crops integrate genomic, morphological, physiological, and ecological adaptations to thrive under extreme and variable environments. This review highlights how natural selection, domestication, and breeding shape stress resilience, resource‐use strategies, and productivity in sugarcane, banana, cassava, rubber and oil palm, offering new routes

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Unveiling the Micronome of Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)
PLOS ONE, 2016 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an important class of endogenous non-coding single-stranded small RNAs (21-24 nt in length), which serve as post-transcriptional negative regulators of gene expression in plants. Despite the economic importance of Manihot esculenta Crantz (cassava) only 153 putative cassava miRNAs (from multiple germplasm) are available to date ...
