Rossel, H.W.Asiedu, RobertDixon, A.[Resistance of cassava to African cassava mosaic virus: what really pertains]Resistance of cassava to African cassava mosaic virus: what really pertains

The aim of the Integrated Cassava Project (ICP) of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture was to pre-emptively manage the cassava mosaic disease (CMD) to avert an imminent and increasing possible threat of the Ugandan strain of the CMD virus of the pathogen from doing damage to the N...


Dixon, A.Akoroda, M.O.Okechukwu, R.U.Ogbe, F.Ilona, P.Sanni, L.O.Ezedinma, C.Lemchi, J.Ssemakula, G.N.Yomeni, M.Okoro, E.Tarawali, G.[Fast track participatory approach to release of elite cassava genotypes for various uses in Nigerias cassava economy]Fast track participatory approach to release of elite cassava genotypes for various uses in Nigerias cassava economy

Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) caused by a group of begomoviruses and transmitted by whitefly vector is a serious disease in all the cassava-growing areas of Africa. Field evaluation with replication was conducted in 2003 and 2004 in three agroecologies in Nigeria to study the response of 40 cassav...


Egesi, Chiedozie N.Ogbe, F.O.Akoroda, M.O.Ilona, P.Dixon, A.[Resistance profile of improved cassava germplasm to cassava mosaic disease in Nigeria]Resistance profile of improved cassava germplasm to cassava mosaic disease in Nigeria

A study was conducted to determine the extent of genetic diversity among African cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) accessions resistant to the cassava mosaic virus disease (CMD), using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. The accessions included a breeding stock (clone 58308), five improved lin...


Lokko, Y.Dixon, A.Offei, S.Danquah, E.Y.Fregene, Martin A.[Assessment of genetic diversity among African cassava Manihot esculenta Grantz accessions resistant to the cassava mosaic virus disease using SSR markers]Assessment of genetic diversity among African cassava Manihot esculenta Grantz accessions resistant to the cassava mosaic virus disease using SSR markers

Cassava anthracnose disease (CAD) caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides f. sp manihotis has been recognized as one of the major economic disease of cassava in all the cassava growing regions of Africa. Little information is available on the resistance of cassava to C. Gloeosporioides f. Sp man...


Owolade, F.Dixon, A.Adeoti, A.[Diallel analysis of cassava genotypes to anthracnose disease]Diallel analysis of cassava genotypes to anthracnose disease

The aim of the study was to investigate the chemical composition and pasting properties of 43 cassava mosaic desease (CMD) resistant clones planted at different locations (Ibadan, Onne and Mokwa) in Nigeria under rainfed conditions in 2003 and 2004. Ranges of chemical contents (%) were for amylos...


Sanni, L.O.Adebowale, A.A.Maziya-Dixon, B.B.Dixon, A.[Chemical composition and pasting properties of CMD resistant cassava clones planted at different locations]Chemical composition and pasting properties of CMD resistant cassava clones planted at different locations

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is the second most important staple food crop in sub-Saharan Africa, providing up to 285 calories per person per day. Cassava starch is a potentially important industrial material in Malawi. Industries hesitate to use cassava starch because the powder sold by so...


Benesi, I.R.M.Labuschagne, M.T.Dixon, A.Mahungu, N.M.[Genotype x environment interaction effects on native cassava starch quality and potential for starch use in the commercial sector]Genotype x environment interaction effects on native cassava starch quality and potential for starch use in the commercial sector

Providing correct estimates of the carotenoid content of cassava varieties is very important in any cassava-breeding program for improving vitamin A intakes in sub-Saharan Africa especially among high-risk groups. The effect of different sampling methods-sampling with cork-borer(SPM1) and samplin...


Maziya-Dixon, A.Alamu, E.O.Dixon, A.[Variation in the evaluation of cis- and trans-<beta>-carotene in yellow-fleshed cassava (Manihot esculenta Cranz) varieties as a function of the storage root portion and sampling method]Variation in the evaluation of cis- and trans-<beta>-carotene in yellow-fleshed cassava (Manihot esculenta Cranz) varieties as a function of the storage root portion and sampling method

The Southern Africa Root Crops Research Netwrok (SARRNET), in collaboration with national research programmes in Southern Africa Development Community (SADC ) have made considerable impact in the SADC region in terms of promoting cassava (Manihot esculenta) and sweetpotato (Ipomea batatus) produc...

Le réseau de recherche du sud de l'Afrique en racines des plantes (SARRNET), en collaboration avec les programmes de recherche national des communautés de développement du sud de l'Afrique (SADC) ont rapporté des impacts considérables dans la région du SADC en termes de promotion de production de...


Mahungu, N.M.Sandifolo, V.S.Dixon, A.Whyte, J.A.Mhone, A.Terri, J.M.Álvarez, M.N.Andrade, M.I.Kolign, S.Jumbo, S.Moyo, C.C.[Contribution of SARRNET to food security in the SADC region]Contribution of SARRNET to food security in the SADC region

Postharvest physiological deterioration (PPD) is an unresolved major stress in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), which constrains the crop suitability for commercial and industrial purposes. The present study sourced for PPD tolerance from different genetic resources available within a cassava ...


Moyib, K.O.Mkumbira, J.Odunola, O.Dixon, A.Akoroda, M.O.Kulakow, P.A.[Genetic variation of postharvest physiological deterioration susceptibility in a cassava germplasm]Genetic variation of postharvest physiological deterioration susceptibility in a cassava germplasm
