Cassava (Manihot esculenta) shows high phenotypic plasticity, acclimatization, wide adaptability, and resilience to adverse edaphoclimatic conditions. In this context, systematic review aims identify what were the factors that determined production of cassava in Brazil last three decades, direct are possible perspectives crop country. The methodology produce was based on studies which integrate...

Cassava is an important crop in many parts of the world. It a staple food for millions people, and it also used variety other applications. rich source carbohydrates can be to produce fuel-grade ethanol. The purpose this study was evaluate agronomic, economic, energy performance several cassava genotypes southwest region Brazilian Amazon. Root productivity, flour yield, dry mass, starch content...

The study of microRNAs (miRNAs) in plants has gained significant attention in recent years due to their regulatory role during development and in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Although cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is tolerant to drought and other adverse conditions, most cassava miRNAs have been predicted using bioinformatics alone or through sequencing of plants challenged by ...

Cassava is a tropical storage-root crop that serves as a worldwide source of staple food for over 800 million people. Flowering is one of the most important breeding challenges in cassava because in most lines flowering is late and non-synchronized, and flower production is sparse. The FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) gene is pivotal for floral induction in all examined angiosperms. The objective of the ...

Cassava is the sixth most important crop, in terms of global annual production. Cassava is grown primarily for its starchy tuberous roots, which are an important staple for more than 800 million people, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa, but also in other parts of Africa, Asia, the Pacific and South America. Cassava is important for both small-scale farmers and larger-scale plantations due to its lo...

Postharvest physiological deterioration (PPD) is a global challenge in the improvement of cassava value chain. However, how to reduce cassava spoilage and reveal the mechanism of injured cassava storage roots in response to PPD were poorly understood. In the present study, we investigated the activities of antioxidant enzymes of cassava injured storage roots in PPD-susceptible (SC9) and PPD-tol...

Bemisia tabaci threatens production of cassava in Africa through vectoring viruses that cause cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava brown streak disease (CBSD). B. tabaci sampled from cassava in eight countries in Africa were genotyped using NextRAD sequencing, and their phylogeny and population genetics were investigated using the resultant single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. SNP ...

Cassava starch is a main renewable bio-resource with low price and mass production in Guangxi, China. It was used as carbon source in growing Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris 8004 (Xcc 8004) for xanthan gum production in this study. The xanthan gum yield of gelatinized cassava starch was higher than that of raw cassava starch; the maximal reducing sugar and amylase activity reached 14.30 g...

Starch is an important constituent in many foods and plays an obvious role in achieving the desired viscosity in products such as sauces, pie illings, salad dressings, puddings, etc. Blending different starches has been reported to result in desirable functional properties which help to overcome some end-use limitations of native starches. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine t...

Starches were isolated from cassava, cocoyam and breadfruit by wet milling process. The physicochemical, functional and pasting characteristics of the isolated starches were then examined and compared. Moisture and fat contents varied between 4.91 – 12.94% and 0.90 – 2.20% respectively. Bulk density and pH ranged between 0.64 – 0.68 and 5.53 – 6.15, respectively. Cassava and breadfruit starches...
