Project description:microRNAs can play a crucial role in stress response in plants, including biotic stress. Some miRNAs are known to respond to bacterial infection. This work has addressed the role of miRNAs in Manihot esculenta (cassava)-Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis (Xam) interaction. Illumina sequencing was used for analyzing small RNA libraries from cassava tissue infected and non-infected with Xam. Cassava variety MBRA685 (resistant to Xam-CIO151) Six-week-old plants were inoculated with 36h-old cultures of the aggressive Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis strain CIO151 in both leaves and stems.

Project description:Haplotype-resolved genome of heterozygous African cassava TMEB117 (Manihot esculenta)
Project description:Phytomonas are a large and diverse sub-group of plant-infecting trypanosomatids that are relatively poorly understood. Little is known of their biology or how they have adapted to life inside plants. This study sequenced the genome of the Cassava (Manihot esculenta) infecting species Phytomonas francai to provide additional genome resources and new insight into the biology of this poorly understood group of organisms.
Project description:Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a food security crop for approximately 800 million people, primarily in developing economies. Cassava root yield is determined by the allocation of photoassimilated carbon within the plant, yet there is limited molecular and biochemical information about source-sink relationships in this globally important crop. Here we conducted label free protein quantification using proteomics of Cassava roots before pruning (0 DAP) and 10 days after pruning (10 DAP). This dataset complements transcriptomics analyses and metabolomics analyses described in the associated publication by David et al.
