Genetic diversity of local and introduced cassava germplasm in Burundi using DArTseq molecular analyses

Niyonzima Pierre et al.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the genetic diversity and relationships within Burundian cassava germplasm using morphological and SNP markers. The results showed that the cassava germplasm in Burundi has a narrow genetic base and that clustering based on morphological traits was inconsistent.

Breaking through the 40% adoption ceiling: Mind the seed system gaps. A perspective on seed systems research for development in One CGIAR

Margaret A. McEwan et al.

Summary: Seed systems research is crucial for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals by improving varieties to end hunger, enhance nutrition, and increase livelihood security. However, without widespread adoption, the genetic gains from improved crop varieties cannot be fully realized.

Phytosanitary Interventions for Safe Global Germplasm Exchange and the Prevention of Transboundary Pest Spread: The Role of CGIAR Germplasm Health Units

P. Lava Kumar et al.

Summary: The article discusses a multidisciplinary approach used by CGIAR GHUs to ensure phytosanitary protection for the safe distribution of germplasm, highlighting the risks associated with seeds as carriers of pests and pathogens. It also emphasizes the importance of quarantine and phytosanitary procedures in reducing the spread of seed-borne pests, as well as the challenges and benefits of globally coordinated phytosanitary networks in preventing the intercontinental spread of pests through plant propagation materials.

Kinship networks of seed exchange shape spatial patterns of plant virus diversity

Marc Deletre et al.

Summary: Kinship systems influence the genetic structure of plant virus populations through seed exchange networks, with contrasting patterns of viral diversity in patrilineal and matrilineal communities. Social factors shape regional seed exchange networks and impact the genetic structure of plant virus populations.

Genetic Gains for Yield and Virus Disease Resistance of Cassava Varieties Developed Over the Last Eight Decades in Uganda

Francis Manze et al.

Summary: The study in Uganda examined genetic improvements in cassava traits over the years, showing an increase in cassava mosaic disease resistance but non-substantial improvements in harvest index and fresh root yield. For cassava brown streak disease resistance breeding initiated in 2003, there were annual genetic gains of 2.3% and 1.5% in foliar and root necrosis resistances, respectively. The focus on disease resistance in cassava breeding underlines the need for simultaneous improvement in yield to meet both current and future demands.

Farmers' Sources and Varieties of Cassava Planting Materials in Coastal Kenya

Patrick Clay Kidasi et al.

Summary: Cassava is widely grown in Western and Coastal regions of Kenya for food security and income generation. Farmers in these regions mainly rely on recycling planting materials from previous crops or obtaining them from neighbors. The study revealed that most farmers prefer local cassava varieties and dedicate a small portion of land for cassava production.
