Pathogen resistant genetically engineered crops in Africa by Tripathi, L., Kumar, P. Lava, Patil, B.L., Fatokun, C.A.

“…Genetic enhancement through transgenic technology is also being used to develop disease resistant cultivars in situations where conventional breeding is difficult or disease resistance is unavailable in the crop’s gene pool.Many of the on-going initiatives ondisease resistant genetically engineered (GE) crops in Africa have been targeting pathogens of high economic importance (e.g., banana bacterial wilt, cassava brown streak, cassava mosaic, and maize streak) affecting smallholder farmers; they are publicly funded and GE technology is offering promising solution against some of the most important diseasesthat include banana bacterial wilt, cassava brown streak, sweet potato virus complex and others. …”
