Cassava brown streak (CBSD) and mosaic (CMD) diseases are the major cassava production constraints in the East African region. Efforts to control these diseases were initiated in northeastern Tanganyika in the 1930’s using conventional breeding methods. Despite these efforts, CBSD is spreading, t...

Cassava production in Africa is compromised by cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) and cassava mosaic disease (CMD). To reduce costs and increase the precision of resistance breeding, a QTL study was conducted to identify molecular markers linked to resistance against these diseases. A bi-parenta...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is an allogamous, vegetatively propagated, Neotropical crop that is also widely grown in tropical Africa and Southeast Asia. To elucidate genetic diversity and differentiation in the crop's primary and secondary centers of diversity, and the forces shaping them, SSR ma...

The probability and consequences of gene flow to wild relatives is typically considered in the environmental risk assessment of genetically engineered crops. This is a report from a discussion by a group of experts who used a problem formulation approach to consider existing information for risk ...

Tanzania is the fifth largest producer of cassava in Africa, the eighth largest producer in the world with an estimated average yields of about 10.4 t/ha, which is far below the potential yield of the crop. The low yield is caused by a number of factors including susceptibility of commonly grown ...
