Carotenoids in Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)

, 2022
Cassava is produced globally and consumed as an important staple in Africa for its calories, but the crop is deficient in micronutrients such as vitamin A. Pro-vitamin A carotenoids including β-carotene are precursors of vitamin A in the human body. Carotenoids are generally associated with colors of fruits and vegetables.

From Waste to Plant‐Based Protein: Impact of Solid‐State Fermentation on Functionality and Protein Extraction of Cassava Leaves

Cereal Chemistry, Volume 103, Issue 1, Page 59-71, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Cassava leaves represent a significant waste stream in cassava cultivation, currently underutilized in both food and nonfood applications. This study investigates the use of solid‐state fermentation with Aspergillus oryzae, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Bacillus subtilis to modify the composition and functional ...

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 ...

Developing an understanding of American elderberry (Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis (L.) Bolli) to support breeding efforts

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Elderberries (Sambucus spp.) have been valued as food and medicine around the world for millennia. Elderberry products are experiencing an increase in demand as ongoing research substantiates their putative health benefits. European elderberries (Sambucus nigra subsp. nigra) are an established industry in Europe and are often imported into the

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

Effect of seed circulation systems on the spread and diversity of Xanthomonas phaseoli pv. manihotis infecting cassava crops of the Colombian Caribbean

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 353-364, January 2026.
Cassava is a lifeline for millions of people across the tropics, but its productivity is at risk from a disease called Cassava Bacterial Blight (CBB). In this study, we explore how the everyday practices of farmers exchanging cassava cuttings—a long‐standing tradition—can shape how the disease spreads and evolves in the Colombian Caribbean.

Cassava [Manihot Esculenta (Crantz)] Germplasm for Effective Conservation

Journal of Agriculture and Food Sciences, 2022
An experiment was conducted to characterize the cassava germplasm of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, Plant Genetic Resources Research Institute (CSIR-PGRRI), Ghana to help in effective conservation. A total of 210 cassava accessions being conserved at the field genebank of the CSIR – PGRRI were used for the experiment in October ...
