      Cassava production and processing in the Democratic Republic of Congo: COSCA working paper, No 22 

      Nweke, F.; Lutete, D.; Dixon, A.; Ugwu, B.; Ajobo, O.; Kalombo, N.; Bukaka, B. (2000)
      The importance of cassava relative to other crops in the cropping system was almost total; cassava was present in 70% of arable fields; maize and beans or peas were each present in 13% of arable fields and all other crops were present in 4%. Cassava was produced mostly for sale, yet it was not as important around market centers as in remote areas because imported rice and wheat products were easily accessible. Cassava land area was not expanding in many of the villages visited because of low-level ...

      Molecular biodiversity of cassava begomoviruses in Tanzania: evolution of cassava geminiviruses in Africa and evidence for East Africa being a center of diversity of cassava geminiviruses 

      Ndunguru, J.; Legg, J.P.; Aveling, T.; Thompson, G.; Fauquet, Claude M. (2005)
      Cassava is infected by numerous geminiviruses in Africa and India that cause devastating losses to poor farmers. We here describe the molecular diversity of seven representative cassava mosaic geminiviruses (CMGs) infecting cassava from multiple locations in Tanzania. We report for the first time the presence of two isolates in East Africa: (EACMCV-[TZ1] and EACMCV-[TZ7]) of the species East African cassava mosaic Cameroon virus, originally described in West Africa. The complete nucleotide sequence ...

      Regional Heritability Mapping provides insights into Dry matter (DM) Content in African white and yellow cassava populations 

      Okeke, U.G.; Akdemir, D.; Rabbi, Ismail Y; Kulakow, P.A.; Jannink, Jean-Luc (2017)
      The HarvestPlus program for cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) fortifies cassava with beta-carotene by breeding for carotene-rich tubers (yellow cassava). However, a negative correlation between yellowness and dry matter (DM) content has been identified. Here, we investigated the genetic control of DM in white and yellow cassava subpopulations. We used regional heritability mapping (RHM) to associate DM to genomic segments in both subpopulations. Significant segments were subjected to candidate ...
