Amplified fragment length polymophism was assessed in 20 land races and nine elite lines of cassava from Africa, resistant and susceptible to the cassava mosaic disease (CMD). Eleven accessions from a representative core collection from Latin America, previously studied by AFLPs, were included as...

The feeding behavior of biotype E greenbug, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), on seedlings of sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, genotypes with various levels and mechanisms of seedling resistance was examined in a 12-h period with a computerized electronic insect feeding monitor. Results indicat...

Twelve cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) genotypes were planted under natural field conditions for two different cropping seasons (wet and dry), in 1992 and 1993 at the research farm of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria. The trial studied the effect of p...

Cassava anthracnose disease (CAD) is a major stem disease of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) in the cassava growing areas of the world. To identify markers associated with resistance to CAD, F1 progenies were produced from a cross between resistant genotype TME 117, and susceptible genotype TM...

Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) is the major production constraint on
cassava (
Manihot esculenta
) in Angola. Previous reports derived from
single samples recorded the presence of
African cassava mosaic virus
(ACMV) and
East African cassava mosaic virus
(EACMV) in Angola.
Regional CMD monitoring in...

Iron (Fe) and Zinc (Zn) concentrations in tuberous roots of twenty-five cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) genotypes were determined over 2 years (2004/2005 and 2005/2006) at five locations representing distinct agroecologies in Nigeria. The objectives were to study the magnitude and nature of ge...
