Reducing transitory starch in cassava impairs photosynthesis and carbon export to storage roots

This study shows that reducing transitory starch in cassava impairs photosynthesis and carbon export to storage roots, with more severe effects under field conditions.

Repeatability and Heritability of UAV-Derived Canopy Traits in a Cassava Breeding Population Using Time-Series Data from Two Consecutive Growing Seasons

This study evaluates UAV-derived canopy traits in cassava to assess their repeatability and heritability across two growing seasons, finding high repeatability but variable heritability among traits.

A non-rectifying potassium channel increases cassava drought tolerance and storage root yield

This study expresses a non-rectifying potassium channel gene in cassava to enhance drought tolerance and storage root yield.

High-resolution spatial transcriptomics of stem and storage root vascular cambia highlights key regulatory processes for xylem parenchyma differentiation in cassava

This study uses high-resolution spatial transcriptomics to compare vascular cambium regulation in cassava stems and storage roots, identifying key factors for storage parenchyma differentiation.
