Multiple morphogenic culture systems cause loss of resistance to cassava mosaic disease

Abstract Background Morphogenic culture systems are central to crop improvement programs that utilize transgenic and genome editing technologies. We previously reported that CMD2-type cassava (Manihot esculenta) cultivars lose resistance to cassava mosaic disease (CMD) when passed through somatic em...
