Twelve cassava landraces were evaluated for sources of resistance genes to diseases and pests of major economic
importance in Africa. The objective was to assess their levels of field resistance to mosaic disease (ACMD), bacterial
blight (CBB), anthracnose (CAD), and green mite (CGM), compared to...

Screening landraces for additional sources of field resistance to Cassava Mosaic Disease and green mite for integration into the Cassava Improvement Program
The impact of cassava transformation technologies for agricultural development in Africa will depend largely on how successfully these capabilities are transferred and adapted to the African environment and local needs. Here we report on the first successful establishment of cassava regeneration ...

Production of the first transgenic cassava in Africa via direct shoot organogenesis from friable embryogenic calli and germination of maturing somatic embryos
A total of 436 African landraces and 497 improved cassava genotypes were planted in 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 growing seasons.. These were evaluated for their reactions to cassava anthracnose disease (CAD) under natural infection conditions at Ibadan (a high infection zone). The severity of the d...
