Physiological characteristics of cassava tolerance to prolonged drought in the tropics: implications for breeding cultivars adapted to seasonally dry and semiarid environments (2007, background): “Nevertheless, Alves (2002), working with indoor-grown plants, found no significant accumulation of solutes and osmolytes in mature cassava leaves, and, hence, no occurrence of osmotic adjustment (for more information, see http://www.”
Cassava about‐FACE: Greater than expected yield stimulation of cassava (Manihot esculenta) by future CO2 levels (2012, background): “Temperatures below 15 °C inhibit cassava growth (Alves, 2002).”
Chemical ecology in coupled human and natural systems: people, manioc, multitrophic interactions and global change (2010, background): “Second, soil quality affects not only productivity of manioc (as any other crop), but also its quality as food, by influencing its nutrient content and cyanogen concentrations in ways that are still poorly understood (Alves 2002; Bokanga et al. 1994).”
International research on cassava photosynthesis, productivity, eco-physiology, and responses to environmental stresses in the tropics (2006, background): “In recent studies with ‘potted greenhouse-grown cassava’, Alves (1998, 2002) found that the largest increases in solutes after a few days of water deficit occurred in the youngest and folded leaves (not fully expanded) with the smallest increases in the mature leaves, pointing to the small…”
