For example a very recent study showed that plants also communicate through signals passed from root to root.

We know the signal went through the roots because this never happened if the two plants were simply in neighboring pots.

They had to have neighboring roots. 5. Do plants have a memory? Plants definitely have several different forms of memory,

Each additional million metric ton is enough to meet the cassava needs of 22 million Africans.

One reason for the cassava miracle has been the ongoing breeding of improved varieties that are more resistant to disease, pest, and drought.

Dried cassava is increasingly being turned into an easily stored flour called gari in West Africa, that is convenient to cook

The Gates foundation is funding tens of millions of dollars of cassava-related research. One project, led by the Donald Danforth Plant science Center,

aims to raise cassava productivity through genome-based breeding, looking at the variations in the plant s DNA to more quickly identify those strains and traits with the potential to boost yields.

A parallel success occurred with cassava. Starting in the 1970s, researchers in Nigeria successfully bred varieties of cassava that are more resistant to pests

and disease, mature faster, and are lower in cyanide. Now Nigeria is the world s top producer of cassava.

Felix Nweke, an international cassava expert, has described the transformation as#oean important scientific success story.#

#Targeted subsidies to farmers, which have long been accepted in Europe, the United states, and parts of Asia, are also becoming more common in Africa, thereby raising farmer incomes and output.
