This brown streak virus disease #CBSD is really destructive . We win against it with our resistant lines with healthy tubers shinining bright under African skies. Leibniz-Institut DSMZ



🌱 Exciting insights from Prof. Boas Pucker 's talk today on "Unlocking Plant Genomes"! His demonstration of mapping-by-sequencing as a tool to identify virus resistance was inspiring—especially for tackling challenges like #CBSD. Thank you for sharing your expertise! #cassava




Discovering hidden treasures in Brazilian #germplasm! 🌱 It was great discussing with Dr. Eder from Embrapa Many of these #high-#starch plants have made their way to #Africa via Leibniz-Institut DSMZ Excited for our #collaboration with @Embrapa through the RootsTubersBananas Breeding breeding project



🎄 Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2025 from the Cassava team at DSMZ Plant Virus Department 🎄 Wishing everyone peace, joy,and success as we continue advancing cassava research for a sustainable and resilient future🌍💚 #HappyHoliday #NewYear2025 #PlantHealth Leibniz-Institut DSMZ


Scientists Samar Sheat, Ph.D.🌿 and Dr Abah Simon Peter were recognized for best oral and poster presentations at the just concluded #ISTRC-AB Symposium held at Azalai Hotel, Abidjan, Còté d' Ivoire. AATF Africa Chiedozie Egesi CGIAR @CGIARgenetic Chiedozie Egesi



Exciting news. Dr. Saulo Alves Santos de Oliveira recent discovery identifies #Rhizoctonia #theobromae as the cause of severe witches' broom disease #CWBD in #Brazil's #cassava Thanks for great collaboration Embrapa Journals Embrapa Leibniz-Institut DSMZ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Honored to contribute to #ISTRC 2025 in #Abidjan and engage with the incredible #Cassava #research community.Inspiring discussions on #cassava #diseases Worldwide A big thanks to everyone hor shared passion. Lots of love to the cassava family! #CassavaScience Leibniz-Institut DSMZ


Spring is soon here in Germany, and our #cassava is starting to #flower! 🌱🌸 Healthy cassava = Happy cassava = Happy life! 💚✨ #CassavaFarming #PlantGrowth #Agroecology #FoodSecurity Leibniz-Institut DSMZ RootsTubersBananas Breeding





Excited news for cassava lovers with our new publication🌿💚 We present the haplotype-resolved genome of #COL40 from Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, a #cassava line with broad-spectrum #resistance to #CBSD Leibniz-Institut DSMZ Read it here: track.smtpsendmail.com/9032119/c?p=DR… #Genomics IITA RootsTubersBananas Breeding

We're excited to share some behind-the-scenes highlights from the WSV2025 registration launch, captured during the recent WSV meeting in Malaysia! 🇲🇾✨ ( #WSV2025 ) – 3rd International Conference – is proudly hosted by the NIBM Malaysia


🌿 #WSV2025 Conf. hosted by NIBM Malaysia , Dr. Samar Sheat, Ph.D.🌿 of the Leibniz-Institut DSMZ delivered an inspiring presentation: 🧬 "Virus Resistance in Cassava: Integrating Genetic and Molecular Approaches to Achieve Broad-Spectrum Resistance Against Viruses from Diverse Families."
