Mechanisms and approaches towards enhanced drought tolerance in cassava (Manihot esculenta)

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions for its edible tuberous roots and minimally for its leaves. It provides food and revenue to over eight hundred million people particularly in Africa. Generally, cassava is drought-tolerant, and sheds leaves in droug...
