Peer Review #1 of "Genetic diversity and SNP’s from the chloroplast coding regions of virus-infected cassava (v0.2)"
Abstract:Cassava is a staple food crop in sub-Saharan Africa, it is a rich source of carbohydrates and proteins which currently supports livelihoods of more than 800 million people worldwide. However, its continued production is at stake due to vector-transmitted diseases such as Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD). Currently, the management and control of viral diseases in cassava relies mainly on virus-resistant cultivars of cassava. Thus, the discovery of new target genes for plant v… Show more
