Diversity of DNA 1: a satellite-like molecule associated with monopartite begomovirus–DNA β complexes
Rob W. Briddon,Simon E. Bull,Imran Amin,Shahid Mansoor,Ian D. Bedford,Narayan Rishi,Surender S Siwatch,Y. Zafar,Aly M. Abdel-Salam,Peter G. Markham +9 more
TL;DR: The analysis shows that DNA 1 components are associated with the majority of begomovirus-DNA beta complexes, being absent from only two of the complexes examined, both of which have their origins in Far East Asia.

Universal primers for the PCR-mediated amplification of DNA 1: a satellite-like molecule associated with begomovirus-DNA beta complexes.
TL;DR: Two abutting primer pairs are designed to conserved sequences of DNA 1 that allowed polymerase chain reaction-mediated amplification of the full-length molecule from total nucleic acid extracts produced from various host plants from geographically distinct, worldwide locations.

Accelerated ex situ breeding of GBSS- and PTST1-edited cassava for modified starch
Simon E. Bull,David Seung,Christelle Chanez,Devang Mehta,Joel‑Elias Kuon,Elisabeth Truernit,Anton Hochmuth,Irene Zurkirchen,Samuel C. Zeeman,Wilhelm Gruissem,Hervé Vanderschuren,Hervé Vanderschuren +11 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that CRISPR-Cas9–mediated targeted mutagenesis of two genes involved in amylose biosynthesis, PROTEIN TARGETing to STARCH (PTST1) or GRANULE BOUND STARCH SYNTHASE (GBSS), can reduce or eliminate amylOSE content in root starch.

Genetic diversity and phylogeography of cassava mosaic viruses in Kenya.
Simon E. Bull,Rob W. Briddon,William S. Sserubombwe,Kahiu Ngugi,Peter G. Markham,John Stanley +5 more
TL;DR: A survey of the genetic diversity of CMD-associated begomoviruses across the major cassava-growing areas of Kenya is described, highlighting the importance of preventing both the movement of viruses between these regions and the importation of the disease from adjacent countries and islands in the Indian Ocean.

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of friable embryogenic calli and regeneration of transgenic cassava
Simon E. Bull,Simon E. Bull,Judith Owiti,M. Niklaus,John R. Beeching,Wilhelm Gruissem,Hervé Vanderschuren +6 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive, reliable and improved protocol that optimizes Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of FEC from cassava model cultivar TMS60444 is presented, taking ∼6 months, that permits a finely balanced control of nutrients, hormones and antibiotics.
