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.

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.

The haplotype-resolved chromosome pairs and transcriptome of a heterozygous diploid African cassava cultivar

This study presents haplotype-resolved chromosome pairs and transcriptome of a diploid African cassava cultivar using HiFi sequencing and Hi-C, revealing structural variations and allele-specific expression patterns.

A RETINOBLASTOMA-RELATED transcription factor network governs egg cell differentiation and stress response in Arabidopsis

This paper identifies a transcription factor network involving RBR and MYB proteins that governs egg cell differentiation and stress response in Arabidopsis.

A new full-length virus genome sequencing method reveals that antiviral RNAi changes geminivirus populations in field-grown cassava

The paper introduces CIDER-Seq, a method for accurate full-length virus genome sequencing, and shows it reveals antiviral RNAi alters geminivirus populations in cassava.
