Importance of CMD

• Number one production constraint in Africa
• A potential risk in Latin America and Asia
• Complicates germplasm exchange

5
Multiple Virus Type/Strains

• African Cassava Mosaic Virus
• East African Cassava Mosaic Virus
• Ugandan Variant (Recombinant virus)
• South African Cassava Mosaic Virus
• Indian Cassava Mosaic Virus

Why Map CMD Resistance?

• To select for CMD resistant genotypes in the
  absence of the pathogen in Latin America
• To certify resistant genotypes for distribution
  to farmers Africa
• Need to pyramid different sources of resistance

9
Sources of CMD Resistance

• Currently deployed CMD resistance comes from M.
  glaziovii x M. esculenta 3rd backcross derivates
• A new source of resistance that show high levels
  of resistance has been identified in Nigerian
  land race.

10
CMD Mapping Populations

• TMS30572 X CM7857 (Half-sib BC1)
• 240 genotypes
• TMS30572 X TME117 (F1) - 200 genotypes
• TMS30555 X TME3 (F1 ) -178 genotypes
• TMS 30572 XTME 4 (F1 ) 200 genotypes

11
CMD Mapping Populations
.

• The mapping population were established in vitro
  for easy transfer between IITA and CIAT.

12
Experimental Sites

• IITA humid forest Station, Onne, Eastern Nigeria
• Transitional rain forest, Ikenne, South West
  Nigeria
• NARO mid-altitude NARO station Namulonge, Ugandan

SSR Markers (Cassava MapPairs)

• 12 SSR markers (Chavariagga et. al
• 1998
• 174 SSR markers (Mba et. al. 2000)
• 134 SSR markers (Mba et. al. 2001)
• 158 SSR markers (Fregene et.al 2001.)
• NARO mid-altitude NARO station Namulonge, Ugandan

Map Location of a CMD Resistance Gene in Cassava
Location of a dominant CMD resistance gene CMD2.
Markers flanking and co-segregating with the gene
explain over 70 of phenotypic variance
19
Map Location of a Second CMD Resistance Gene in
Cassava
A single genome region controls 48 of phenotypic
variance for ACMD resistance and shows a
recessive gene action
20
Marker-assisted Breeding of CMD Resistance

• Introduce CMD2 resistance gene into Latin
  American cassava gene pools by MAS
• Compare MAS and conventional breeding for CMD
  resistance in African gene pools
• The use of the CMD2 marker as a diagnostic to
  certify resistant genotypes for distribution to
  farmers

22
Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) of CMD 2

• Identify genes that are the molecular basis for
  resistance conferred by CMD2
• Use Bulk of 40 CMD resistant and 40 susceptible
  genotypes from the TMS30555 X TME3 cross
• Generate and annotate all transcripts
  differentially expressed in the CMD resistant
  bulk

Serial Analysis of Gene Expression Differential
expression of genes in resistant and susceptible
bulks
26
SAGE of CMD2

• Two mRNA populations isolated from a bulk of 40
  susceptible and 40 resistant F1 progeny
• Generation of SAGE libraries from the two mRNA
  samples
• Sequencing of 5733, and 7053, tags from the
  resistant and susceptible bulks respectively
• Identification of 128 tags differentially
  expressed at a probability level of 95 in the
  resistant bulk
• Tag anotation by 3 end sequencing of ESTs to
  identify differentially expressed genes - about
  5,000 ESTs
