Fauquet, Claude M.Taylor, Nigel J.Tohme, Joseph M.[The Global Cassava Partnership for the 21st Century (GCP21)]The Global Cassava Partnership for the 21st Century (GCP21)

The starchy swollen roots of cassava provide an essential food source for nearly a billion people, as well as possibilities for bioenergy, yet improvements to nutritional content and resistance to threatening diseases are currently impeded. A 454-based whole genome shotgun sequence has been assem...


Prochnik, SMarri, PRDesany, BRabinowitch, PDKodira, CFauquet, Claude M.Tohme, Joseph M.Rodríguez, F.Mohiuddin, MHarkins, TRokhsar, DSRounsley, S[The cassava genome: current progress, future directions]The cassava genome: current progress, future directions

Cassava is an important energy source in the diets of millions of people in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It is a key subsistence crop, and its industrial uses are steadily growing. In spite of its economic and social relevance, relatively little investment has been made for rese...


Ceballos, HernánKulakow, PeterHershey, Clair[Cassava breeding: current status, bottlenecks and the potential of biotechnology tools]Cassava breeding: current status, bottlenecks and the potential of biotechnology tools

The advent of relatively low-cost, massively parallel, high-throughput genome sequencing and the resultant availability of high density markers are revolutionizing the ways in which molecular markers can be applied to plant breeding. With the availability of the draft cassava genome sequence, the...


Ferguson, Morag E.Rabbi, Ismail Y.Kim, D.J.Gedil, M.Becerra López Lavelle, Luis AugustoOkogbenin, Emmanuel[Molecular markers and their application to cassava breeding: past, present and future]Molecular markers and their application to cassava breeding: past, present and future

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important tropical root crop that provides food security and income generation for many farmers. Cassava ranks as the third most important source of calories in the tropics and provides sustenance to 800 million people worldwide. Cassava is also an efficie...


Utsumi, YSakurai, TUmemura, YoshimiAyling, SarahIshitani, ManabuNarangajavana, JSojikul, PTriwitayakorn, KanokpornMatsui, MManabe, RShinozaki, KSeki, M[RIKEN Cassava Initiative: establishment of a cassava functional genomics platform]RIKEN Cassava Initiative: establishment of a cassava functional genomics platform

In the tropics, cassava starch is produced at artisanal and industrial scales. This paper focuses on a new methodology enabling the technoeconomical comparison of small-scale cassava starch manufacturing process (1–5 t of starch/day) in two markedly different contexts (Colombia and Vietnam). Meas...


Da, GuillaumeDufour, DominiqueGiraldo, AndrésMoreno, Martín A.Tran, ThierryVelez, GustavoSánchez, TeresaLe-Thanh, MaiMarouzé, ClaudeMaréchal, Pierre-André[Cottage Level Cassava Starch Processing Systems in Colombia and Vietnam]Cottage Level Cassava Starch Processing Systems in Colombia and Vietnam

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...


Gedil, M.Kolade, F.Raji, A.Ingelbrecht, I.L.Dixon, A.[Development of molecular genomic tools for verification of intergeneric hybrids between castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) and cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)]Development of molecular genomic tools for verification of intergeneric hybrids between castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) and cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)

Drought is responsible for large reductions in cassava root yields. On-farm root yields can be improved two- to three-fold and quality of fresh and processed products improved by the adoption of recently improved production technologies. The potential usefulness is high for genetic, morphological...


Ekanayake, I.J.[Conceptual issues in the use of cassava modelling for improved production in drought environments]Conceptual issues in the use of cassava modelling for improved production in drought environments

An effective control for bacterial blight of cassava (Manihot esculenta), caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. manihotis, requires the use of non-contaminated cuttings and seeds. Using classical agar plating techniques for screening planting material for contamination has not been very successful...


Fessehaie, A.Wydra, K.Rudolph, K.[Development of a new semiselective medium for isolating Xanthomonas campestris pv. manihotis from plant material and soil]Development of a new semiselective medium for isolating Xanthomonas campestris pv. manihotis from plant material and soil

Climatic and edaphic factors are important determinants of the growth and yield potential of an ecological environment. Among other cultural practices, planting methods play a very vital role in the performance of a crop. The effects of planting methods and soil moisture on cassava (Manihot escul...
