Systemin is a plant signal peptide hormone involved in the responses to wounding and insect damage in the Solanaceae family. It works in the same signaling pathway of jasmonic acid (JA) and enhances the expression of proteinase inhibitors. With the aim of studying a role for systemin in plant ant...

Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) has been a problem in the East African coastal cassava growing areas for more than 70 years. The disease is caused by successful infection with Cassava Brown Streak Virus (CBSV) (Family, Potyviridae: Genus, Ipomovirus). Diagnosis of CBSD has for long been prima...

Approaches to diagnosis and detection of cassava brown streak virus (Potiviridae: Ipomovirus) in fieldgrown cassava crop
Cassava is an important food staple in the coastal provinces of east and southern Africa. However, its production is adversely affected by cassava brown streak virus disease (CBSD). CBSD first reported from Amani, Tanzania in 1936, is now considered to be one of the major biotic constraints to ca...

Economic losses experienced by smallscale farmers in Malawi due to cassava brown streak virus disease
Plant viruses cause major losses to several agricultural and horticultural crops around the world. Unlike other plant pathogens, there are no direct methods available yet to control viruses and, consequently, the current measures rely on indirect tactics to manage the viral diseases. Hence, metho...
