Gene action controlling cassava brown streak disease resistance and storage root yield in cassava

2018-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) brown streak disease (CBSD) is currently one of the major constraints to sustained cassava production in Malawi. Its economic impact is mainly manifested in the storage roots where it causes pitting, necrosis and constriction. CBSD can effectively be managed by using resistant varieties as well as early harvesting especially if the varieties are early bulking (high storage root y...
