Frogskin is the most limiting disease of cassava crops in Colombia, causing losses in production up to 90%. Since this disease was associatated with 16SrIII phytoplasma presence, a study was carried out to isolate this phytoplasma using liquid and solid culture media. Root, petiol, stem, leaf and...

Cassava is a staple food for about 800 million people worldwide. It is produced mainly by smallholder farmers. In July 2013, disease symptoms were observed on the crop, including longitudinal lip-like fissures on roots, and a thick cork-like appearance on root peel. The diseased cassava contained...

Vascular wilt of banana and plantains, also known as Moko disease, is caused by Ralstonia solanacearum (Rs) phylotype II, and is the main bacterial disease affecting these crops in the Americas. Upon comparative sequence analysis of 44 Rs genomes we developed an improved PCR protocol based on the...
