1,410 agronomic variables measured are mapped to Crop Ontology
29,633 trials out of 34,329 described use the Crop Ontology trait names.

Drought Tolerance in Cassava
Cassava drought tolerance experiment:– Two treatments; irrigated control and drought stressed– Two years; two sites in Kenya; Kibwezi and Kiboko– Five drought tolerant and five drought susceptible varieties
Findings:– 59% reduction in fresh root yield– Main mechanism driving drought tolerance is stomata that
respond slowly, do not close immediately when relative humidity drops, thereby allowing photosynthesis to continue with increased fresh root weight
– Leaf retention assists assimilate accumulation for a few weeks
– Selection for yield is a good proxy for drought toleranceOrek et al. (in preparation)

2. Genomic selection3. Marker discovery leading to marker
assisted selection4. Hybrid breeding focused on development
of inbred lines and strategies for exploitation of heterosis

Challenge 1: Improve Starch Yield
• Break the dry matter content barrier to reliably produce starch of 23 to 29%.
• TMEB419 is the standard for high starch production in Nigeria and many countries with starch yield near 23%. Few have exceptionally high starch yield.
• Seasonal time of harvest is a key constraint to starch yield with best starch production in the dry season– Few year round harvest datasets to document
this

Challenge 2: Reaching needs of important beneficiaries
• Cassava breeding research must be gender responsive and address needs of all groups of farmers.
• Extension information reaches men easier than women
• 2015 Cassava Monitoring Study of 2500 households in Nigeria will be very helpful for guiding new strategies.
A member of CGIAR consortium www.iita.org
Gender Differentiated Cassava Preferences
• Nextgeneration Cassava Breeding Project• Results from a pilot study in the four communities in SW and SE
Nigeria• Focus group discussions and individual interviews were held with
women, men and youth (women and men separately)• Results were analyzed using qualitative methods• Questions included:
– Characteristics of Respondents– The varieties grown– Traits preferred (implications to the Breeding program)– Access to resources– Marketing and Processing– Decision making

Challenge 3: Meeting end user preferences
• Over 80% of cassava is consumed as food• While income can purchase nutrition security,
adoption of cassava varieties in many situations will depend on providing desired end user characteristics.
• Includes functional properties of cassava starches, leaf harvest, biofortification and time of harvest/in ground storage.
• Industrial traits will have specific target niches and will address specific markets. Do not assume one variety will meet all needs.
A member of CGIAR consortium www.iita.org
Challenge 4: Breeding methods need to be accessible to all breeders in Africa
• Improved phenotyping methods for key traits• Field designs and analysis methods to maximize
heritability and address GxE• Successfully implement databases and secure
and accurate data collection• Determine the appropriate roles of genomic and
phenotypic selections with efficient use of appropriate markers.

• Position resources where they are needed• Expand regional trials beginning with 5CP in
East Africa and Harvest Plus in West Africa • Monitor results and adjust methods and targets

Cassava Breeding Achievements in East Africa
• Tanzania: with ARI released 8 varieties for the coastal lowlands of Tanzania in the past 5 years.
• Uganda: with NARO two breeding lines submitted for release as the first varieties with dual resistance to CMD (especially, EACMV-UG) and tolerance to both CBSD and UCBSD for the mid-altitude areas of East Africa bordering Lake Victoria
• Dozens of highly promising breeding lines in advanced stages of evaluation
• Under 5CP facilitating exchange and cooperative testing of 25 elite clones among 5 NARS breeding programs: Malawi, Mozambique, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
• Botanical seeds from CBSD tolerant parents sent to Burundi (6,000), Rwanda (6,000) and DR Congo (10,000) to initiate national selection programs for specific adaptation to their agro-ecologies.

Cassava Breeding Achievements in DR Congo
• With INERA released and registration of 21 improved varieties with harvest period from 12 to 20 months and root yield between 21 to 47 t/ha.
• New selection approach for cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) comprising evaluation of maturity time every 3 months and in ground storage to 24 MAP maintaining high starch yield
• Selection for new industrial traits including dietary fibre in leaves, amylose free starch for pasting industry and sugary cassava for ethanol
• In partnership with INERA and HarvestPlus new biofortified genotypes have been selected with total carotene content (TCC) up to 15µg/g fresh weight and more than the released check TMS-IBA01/1661 (9.5 µg/g)

Building National Programs in Sierra Leone and Liberia
• Introduce and characterize local and advanced germplasm using morphological, biochemical and biotechnology tools
• Generate improved and adapted populations with desired characteristics for different agro-ecologies targeting different end uses (farming systems, food, feed and industry) and markets
• Establish special backup populations• Conserve a core set of local cultivars and improved germplasm • Fast track on farm evaluation through participatory evaluation using
innovation platforms• Expedite farmer access to quality planting materials on sustainable
basis• Improve NARs capacity and facilities (human, financial,
infrastructure) for effective execution of germplasm development, deployment and communication
