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
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a staple food for over 600 million people in the tropics and sub-tropics and is increasingly used as an industrial crop for starch production. Cassava has a high growth rate under optimal conditions but also performs well in drought-prone areas and on margina...

Characterization of an 18,166 EST dataset for cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) enriched for drought responsive genes
Despite its relatively recent introduction to Africa, cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) has become a major food crop adapted to a wide range of agro-ecologies that is grown by millions of small-holding farmers of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), owing to its remarkable tolerance to an array of biotic a...
