Molecular, Environmental and Nutritional Evaluation of Bambara Groundnut (Vigna subterranea L.Verdc.)for Food Production in Semi-Arid Africa and IndiaPeriod: 01/01/2006 to 31/12/2009Budget from EC: EUR 1 500 000Coordinator: Dr Sayed Azam-AliUniversity of NottinghamBambara groundnut can contribute to food security forsome of the world’s poorest people. Traditional landraceshave good nutritional properties; drought tolerance and canyield protein-rich pods where other crops may fail. RecentEU-funded research has developed the first hybrids ofbambara groundnut landraces.This proposal links partners in Africa, Europe and Indiain a project that combines molecular, environmental andnutritional studies and end-users of bambara groundnut. Bydissecting the underlying genetics of the crop and testingits performance across a range of environments, the projectwill establish criteria and resources required for systematic,regional breeding and improvement programmes thatminimise duplication of effort. Within four years collaboratorswill produce the first varieties of the crop, assess productsfor a range of uses and identify cultivars and managementpractices to optimise performance in specific environments.Two genetic linkage maps of bambara groundnut will bemade — a ‘wide’ cross (cultivated x wild relative) and a‘narrow’ cross (cultivated x cultivated), using AFLP, SSR andDArT markers. Collaborators will identify genes and QTL’sfor drought, heat and cold tolerance and photoperiodiccontrol of pod filling and will link genetic and biochemicalcomposition of seeds from genotypes to quantify nutritionalcomposition, nutritive value and processing potential.The development of micro-array-based accessions forlandraces, micro-satellite markers and genetic maps forbambara groundnut, will be coupled with agronomic andphysiological assessment, through multi-environmentQTL analysis and the testing of common landraces acrosslocations. Key traits will be dissected and markers developed.The genetics underlying nutritional and processing value willbe assessed and new products developed through SMEs. Atall stages end users will guide researchers towards desirabletraits from new genetic material and novel products.Food Security
