Özet
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), a tropical crop, is consumed as a second major source of carbohydrates worldwide. Its origin traces back to Africa, and then it flourished throughout the world by becoming the staple food for more than half of the world’s population. Nowadays, this crop has become a center of research because of its economic and nutritional value. Besides having many attributes, cassava also needs improvement in various aspects, i.e., breeding practices, tolerance to abiotic stresses, disease resistance, and enhanced starch content. This has been improved by using gene editing technologies like TALENs (transcription activator-like effector nucleases), ZFNs (zinc finger nucleases), mega nucleases, and CRISPRs (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) associated with Cas-9 protein. In addition to re-evaluating the importance of these strategies in cassava improvement, this manuscript also includes the biofortification, modification, and storage of starch, as well as the root production and postharvest storage of cassava. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
