Cassava
''Manihot esculenta'', commonly called cassava (), manioc, or yuca (among numerous regional names), is a woody shrub of the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae, native to South America. Although a perennial plant, cassava is extensively cultivated as an annual crop in tropical and subtropical regions for its edible starchy tuberous root, a major source of carbohydrates. Though it is often called ''yuca'' in parts of Spanish America and in the United States, it is not related to yucca, a shrub in the family Asparagaceae. Cassava is predominantly consumed in boiled form, but substantial quantities are used to extract cassava starch, called tapioca, which is used for food, animal feed, and industrial purposes. The Brazilian farinha, and the related ''garri'' of West Africa, is an edible coarse flour obtained by grating cassava roots, pressing moisture off the obtained grated pulp, and finally drying it (and roasting both in the case of farinha and garri). Cassava is the third-largest so ...

Fungal Plant Pathogens And Diseases
A fungus ( : fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, which by one traditional classification include Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the ''Eumycota'' ( ...

Root Vegetable Diseases
In vascular plants, the roots are the organs of a plant that are modified to provide anchorage for the plant and take in water and nutrients into the plant body, which allows plants to grow taller and faster. They are most often below the surface of the soil, but roots can also be aerial or aerating, that is, growing up above the ground or especially above water. Function The major functions of roots are absorption of water, plant nutrition and anchoring of the plant body to the ground. Anatomy Root morphology is divided into four zones: the root cap, the apical meristem, the elongation zone, and the hair. The root cap of new roots helps the root penetrate the soil. These root caps are sloughed off as the root goes deeper creating a slimy surface that provides lubrication. The apical meristem behind the root cap produces new root cells that elongate. Then, root hairs form that absorb water and mineral nutrients from the soil. The first root in seed producing plants is the ra ...

Oidium (genus)
''Oidium'' is a genus of Deuteromycetes, where traditionally most anamorphs of the order Erysiphales are included. Most of them are plant pathogens causing different forms of powdery mildew, for example: *''Oidium alphitoides'' (= ''O. quercinum'') = '' Microsphaera alphitoides'' (on oaks) *''Oidium anacardii'' (= ''Acrosporium anacardii'') (on cashew) *'' Oidium arachidis'' (on peanut) *''Oidium asteris-punicei'' (= ''Erysiphe cichoracearum'') (on mangos) *''Oidium balsamii'' = '' Erysiphe verbasci'' (on mulleins) *''Oidium begoniae'' (=''O.cyclaminis'', ''O.lini'', ''O.violae'') = ''Erysiphe polyphaga'' (on '' Valerianella'', ''Calluna'' and ''Erica'') *''Oidium candicans'' (= ''Monilia candicans'') *''Oidium caricae'' (on papayas) *'' Oidium caricae-papayae'' (on papayas) *''Oidium caricicola'' (on papayas) *''Oidium chrysanthemi'' = ''Erysiphe cichoracearum'' (on numerous plant species, especially Asteraceae) *''Oidium carpini'' *'' Oidium chartarum'' (= ''Torula chartarum'') ...
