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

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.

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

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.

This study identifies carbon pathway shifts in cassava storage roots, showing yellow-fleshed varieties direct more carbon to cell wall and raffinose biosynthesis via the myo-inositol pathway.

This study investigates carbon allocation in cassava by analyzing phloem loading and sub-cellular transport in storage roots, finding a predominantly passive symplasmic mechanism.
