Abstract excerpt
Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) is a major threat to cassava production, causing significant disruptions in photosynthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, and leaf structure, severely reducing crop productivity. This study investigates CMD's physiological, biochemical, and structural impacts across five cassava genotypes, revealing substantial differences in CMD susceptibility. Genotypes such as Sree Visakham and Sree...
