Résumé Research Application Summary Advances in cassava research in management of Cassava Brown Streak Virus

Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) was first observed on cassava (Manihot esculenta) in Rwanda in 2009. In 2014 eight major cassava-growing districts in the country were surveyed to determine the distribution and variability of symptom phenotypes associated with CBSD, and the genetic diversity of cassava brown streak viruses. Distribution of the CBSD symptom phenotypes and their combinations v...

Cassava genetic transformation capacity is still mostly restricted to advanced laboratories in the USA, Europe and China; and its implementation and maintenance in African laboratories has remained scarce. The impact of transgenic technologies for genetic improvement of cassava will depend largely on the transfer of such capabilities to researchers in Africa, where cassava has an important soci...

Cassava plays an important role as a subsistence and cash crop in rural areas. Despite its importance, production Senegal remains low compared to other African countries. Nowadays, it is confronted with numerous constraints. It this context that study was carried out on the cassava system Thiès

Cassava breeding is a critical aspect of sustainable agriculture to address the challenges food security and climate change. The present study aimed assess combining ability six Thai cassava elite varieties for four key traits, including fresh root yield (FRY), shoot (FSY), harvest index (HI) starch content (SC) through an analysis diallel mating design over two years. Parental lines HB80 R5 sh...

a research was conducted to evaluate cassava production by women farmers in igbo-eze north local government area of enugu state, nigeria. one hundred and twenty smallholder female cassava farmers were selected using multi-stage sampling. data were collected from the respondents using questionnaire and interview schedule. then descriptive statistics (mean, frequency and percentage) were used in ...

t he study examined factors influencing the adoption of improved cassava processing technologies. interview schedule was used to collect information from 100 rural women involved in cassava processing. the average age of the respondents was 51 years and majority (77%) had formal education. the women’s main source of information on the improved cassava processing technologies was through the wia...

BACKGROUND Beyond nutritional values are the pharmacological potentials of cassava comparative with other staple carbohydrate plant-based foods such as wheat. The knowledge of applicability to diabetes and its cardiovascular complications management seems not just limited but unacknowledged. As a preliminary study, a community's knowledge of pharmacological value of cassava is investigated. M...
