📢 NEW GENOME ALERT
In #G3journal, @SamarSheat and the team produced a high-quality genome assembly of cassava line COL40—a South American strain with resistance against viruses causing cassava brown streak disease—to improve future breeding programs.

After our discovery of #COL40's #CBSD resistance in 2019 in South American germplasm, breeders worldwide embraced its potential combining it with CMD resistance Today, we stand proud in fields with COL40 and its progeny, 12-1 DSC 493, with high resistance to #CBSV#UCBSV & #CMD
