Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is a major food staple for nearly 600 million people in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Major losses in yield result from biotic and abiotic stresses that include diseases such as Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD) and Cassava Bacterial Blight (CBB), drought, and acid soils...

An EST resource for cassava and other species of Euphorbiaceae
Cassava bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis, is of significant concern wherever cassava is grown. The movement of infected, asymptomatic stems is a major means of pathogen dispersal. A reliable and sensitive diagnostic procedure is necessary for the safe movement of c...

RXam-1: A Xa21 homologue associated to bacterial blight resistance in cassava
Plant disease resistance genes (R genes) show significant similarity amongst themselves in terms of both their DNA sequences and structural motifs present in their protein products. Oligonucleotide primers designed from NBS (Nucleotide Binding Site) domains encoded by several R-genes have been us...
