ESTRATEGIA DE SILENCIAMIENTO GÉNICO EN YUCA PARA LA VALIDACIÓN DE GENES DE RESISTENCIA. Strategy of Gene Silencing in Cassava for Validation of Resistance Genes.
Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is a major source of food for more than 1000 million people in the world and constitutes an important staple crop. Cassava bacterial blight, caused by the gram negative bacterium Xanthomonas axonopodispv. manihotis, is one of the most important constraints for this crop. A candidate resistance gene against cassava bacterial blight, named RXam1, has been identified previously. In this work, we employed the gene silencing approach using the African Cassava Mosaic Virus (ACMV) to validate the function of the RXam1gene. We used as positive control the sugen, which produce
