Cassava Hay Inclusion Improves Fermentation Profile and Quality of Spineless Forage Cactus Silage

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study evaluated the chemical composition, fermentation profile, microbial populations, aerobic stability, and fermentative losses of spineless forage cactus silage supplemented with varying levels of cassava hay (0%, 7.5%, 15.0%, 22.5%, and 30.0% on a fresh matter basis).

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 ...

Micropropagation of Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz): Review

Extensive Reviews, 2021
Cassava is a vital crop to the food security of millions of people worldwide, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. Because the crop produced a reasonable yield on marginal soils, it could help relieve global hunger. As a result, increasing cassava output and its quality attributes are significant.

Functional characterization of NRT1/PTR FAMILY transporters: looking for a needle in a haystack

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1124-1144, February 2026.
Summary NRT1/PTR FAMILY (NPF) transporters play crucial roles in plant physiology and development due to their involvement in nitrogen nutrition and their ability to transport multiple signaling molecules and metabolites. Whereas most eukaryotic and prokaryotic NPF orthologs are peptide transporters, most flowering plant NPF transport other substrates ...
