Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) provides the cheapest source of food calories in Africa and forms the major staple for roughly 40% of Africans. More than 200 million people in sub-Saharan Africa derive over 50% of their carbohydrate intake from cassava. It has been recognised as a powerful pov...

Phenotypic approaches to drought in cassava: review
Cassava is a globally important food security and industrial crop produced for food, feed, starch and biofuel. Cassava is drought-tolerant and can grow in poor soils. Roots can be stored in the ground for long periods as part of intact growing plants, allowing flexible harvest times for poor farm...

Information resources for cassava research and breeding
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important security crop that faces severe yield loses due to cassava brown streak disease (CBSD). Motivated by the slow progress of conventional breeding, genetic improvement of cassava is undergoing rapid change due to the implementation of quantitative t...

Genome-wide association mapping and genomic prediction for CBSD resistance in Manihot esculenta
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is one of the most important food security crops in the tropics and increasingly being adopted for agro-industrial processing. Genetic improvement of cassava can be enhanced through marker-assisted breeding. For this, appropriate genomic tools are required to di...

An ESTderived SNP and SSR genetic linkage map of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)
Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) remains a major threat to cassava production in Mozambique. Breeding for CBSD resistant varieties that are also preferred by farmers is an integral part of managing the disease. The main objective of the study was to determine the genetic relationship between f...
