Background: Glaucoma is an irreversible silent and dangerous eye condition that leads to damage of the optic nerve head. This study aimed to determine the outcome of targeted glaucoma outreaches done in the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital over three years with a view to early detection and timely institution of management.

Methods: The study is a retrospective review of 3 targeted hospital-based glaucoma screenings, World Sight Day of 2019 (140 participants), World Glaucoma Week of 2020 (176 participants), and World Glaucoma Week of 2022 (183 participants).

Despite the importance of storage root (SR) organs for cassava and the other root crops yield, their developmental origin is poorly understood. Here we use multiple approaches to shed light on the initial stages of root development demonstrating that SR and fibrous roots (FR) follow different rhizogenic processes. Transcriptome analysis carried out on roots collected before, during and after root bulking highlighted early and specific activation of a number of functions essential for root swelling and identified root-specific genes able to effectively discriminate emerging FR and SR.
