Drought stress is one of the major abiotic factors limiting banana (Musa) production. Even mild-drought conditions are responsible for considerable yield losses. We performed large-scale transcriptome sequencing using Illumina technology on root tissue of three triploid genotypes representing wel...

The hypothesis that HCN in cassava is a defence mechanism against arthropod pests is suggestive, but quality and quantity of empirical data is unsatisfactory and scarce. The burrowing bug (Cyrtomenus bergi Froeschner: Cydnidae: Hemiptera) is recorded as a major pest on cassava in the neo-tropics ...

The burrowing bug, C. bergi (Hymenopetra: Cydnidae) was first recorded as a cassava pest in Valle, Colombia, in 1979. Nymphs and adults of this subterranean sucking insect feed on cassava roots by means of a thin, strong stylet. As it feeds, it inoculates the roots with soil-borne pathogens such ...

The existence of endophytes in cassava was suspected for the following reasons: (a) A wide range variation of root yield is frequent among disease-symptomless plants growing on the same plot; (b) root yield of low-yielding, virus-free plants of traditional clones can be increased by meristem cult...

Since 1987 cassava agronomy research has been conducted by scientists from national cassava programs in Asia in collaboration and with small financial assistance from the CIAT cassava program. This paper summarizes and pulls together the results obtained, mainly corresponding to the period of 149...
