Over 600 individual plant selections were made based on pod load and other desirable agronomic characteristics. The seed of each single plant was increased in the 2009 off-season under irrigation. These were evaluated for agronomic traits in the main crop season. Generation of new breeding populations Fifty three crosses (30 for foliar diseases resistance, 12 for productivity, 10 for aflatoxin contamination tolerance, and 1 for limited fresh seed dormancy) were made between September and December 2008 to generate populations with the desired attributes. Parental lines used included the most popular varieties in West Africa and high yielding foliar diseases resistant lines ICG # 7878, 7, 6222, 4440, and ICG (FDRS) 4. In the productivity crosses, the new parental lines were ICGV 00350 and ICGV 9114. For aflatoxin, the sources of resistance/tolerance are 55-437 and J11. In the 2009 crop season, the 53 F1 of the crosses made in the previous season were sown at ICRISAT- Mali to produce the F2. Fifteen new crosses involving farmers- and market-preferred traits as parents were completed to generate new populations with enhanced productivity. In 2010, 59 F 2:3 populations involving the most popular varieties in West Africa and sources of resistance to foliar diseases, aflatoxin contamination and rosette were advanced to the next generation. Population size varied from 200 to 800 plants per population. Single plants and bulks were selected. Five of these populations involving a stable source of ELS resistance (ICG 7878) crossed with the most popular varieties (55-437, 47-10, ICGV 86124 and Fleur 11) were advanced through single seed descent (SSD) during the post-rainy season (November-April) to produce F 4:5 RILS for phenotyping in 2011 crop season (June-October). The stage is now set for developing populations to validate the QTLs for Marker assisted breeding and this shows a clear linkage between TL I and TL II projects. 74 Engaging Smallholder Farmers | Tropical Legumes II Project
A total of 40 new three-way crosses involving farmer-preferred varieties and sources of resistance to early leaf spot (ICG 7878) and rosette (ICIAR 19 BT) were made and the F1 grown. Breeding and associated phenotype activities Strengthening breeding and phenotyping infrastructure Hybridization and phenotyping facilities for drought, foliar diseases and groundnut rosette diseases were assessed for adequacy/improvements as well as staff to manage these facilities in Mali, Niger and Nigeria. Overall, these facilities were either lacking or in disuse. In Mali the phenotyping facilities needed are for drought and foliar disease screening, in Niger mainly drought and in Nigeria, phenotyping facility for groundnut rosette disease and raising the aphid vector needed rehabilitation. Mali: A half-hectare plot at Same research station of IER was fenced to protect the nurseries from animal damage. Niger: The focus was on the rehabilitation of the irrigation system at Maradi, to enable phenotyping for drought stress, generation advance and assurance of production of breeder seed. This involved purchase of 2 immersble water pumps and regeneration of wells to ensure constant water availability and an 18 KVA generator to ensure electric power supply. The pathology screen house was also rehabilitated to ensure phenotyping for diseases and maintaining inoculums for target diseases and insect pests. Other infrastructure improvements included: renovation of the seed store, purchase of laboratory equipment such as electronic balances, refrigerator, plastic sheeting, groundnut sheller, a motorcycle, a digital camera and office furniture. Nigeria: The renovation of a screen house for phenotyping purposes was completed. The genotyping facility was enhanced by the purchase of an Alpha merger mini analysis system, digital thermal printer, alpha InfoTech computer and Thermal paper high gloss. At the beginning of the project no hybridization activity was conducted at any of the participating NARS. After the training of technicians in managing crossing blocks, and the rehabilitated facilities, hybridization has been initiated at INRAN and IAR Upgrade skills and capacity of NARS Degree related training Ms. Nana Mariama Idi Garba of INRAN, Niger, completed her MSc program in breeding at the University of Niamey in 2010. Mr. Mamary Traore, IER-Mali, initially registered at the University of Bamako, had registered at the University of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, as a result of indefinite strike by professors at the University of Bamako. This resulted in delayed completion as planned. He is currently finalizing his field work and is expected to graduate by the end of 2011. In addition to graduate students, three undergraduate students conducted their final year bachelor’s degree thesis in groundnut breeding. These included Mr. Prosper Gassinta and Mr. Harara of the Polytechnic of Katibougou, Mali) and Mr. Youssouf Camara from the University of Niamey, Niger. Non-degree training At the start of the project, ICRISAT-Mali conducted 2-day in-country training workshops in Mali, Niger and Nigeria in methods, and data capture. A total of 15 (5 in Mali, 2 Niger and 8 in Nigeria) benefitted from the training. A methods manual was prepared. A training module on crop management and seed production was also produced. This was shared with the project staff in partner countries. Progress of Phase 1 75
