Characterisation of resistance in cassava against viruses causing cassava mosaic and cassava brown streak disease in Africa, Koerbler, M., Stein, B., Ingelbrecht, I., Dixon, A. and Winter, S., 2008.
 
Abstract:
Cassava mosaic disease caused by diverse geminiviruses (CMG) and Cassava brown streak disease caused by cassava brown streak virus (CBSV), are key constraints to the cultivation of cassava in Sub-Sahara Africa. We have collected and characterised the diversity of the most prominent geminiviruses from all African cassava cultivation areas and Cassava brown streak viruses from East Africa, to use defined viruses for resistance studies in selected IITA cassava breeding lines and African land races. Virus infections were established in cassava by either graft inoculation with scions of virus infected plants or, by particle bombardment of cloned infectious viruses. Resistance against cassava mosaic geminiviruses was identified in several breeding lines e.g. TME 4, TMS 96/0529 and TMS 96/0160 responding with abortion of virus infections after virus introduction. Other genotypes, e.g. TMS 96/0304, became infected but recovered from symptoms but maintaining the infection status. When cassava clones were analysed for CBSV resistance, it became evident that geminivirus resistance was tightly correlated with susceptibility against CBSV. Geminivirus resistant cassava responded with often severe CBSV infections (e.g. TMS 96/0160) upon virus inoculation. Interestingly, cassava genotypes with an intermediate resistance, TMS 96/0304, initially became mixed infected with CBSV/CMG however subsequently aborting CMG, to establish single CBSV infections. Differential responses were also recorded for strains of CBSV. While CMG resistance in cassava was against all CMG, differential responses were observed in cassava inoculated with CBSV isolates obtained from Kenya and Mozambique. While the CMG susceptible cassava landrace TME 117 was resistant against CBSV from Kenya, it became infected with CBSV from Mozambique. Only the cassava genotype TMS/ 1089A revealed immunity against CMG and also did not establish infections with the CBSV isolates from diverse origins.

Evaluation of water yam (Dioscorea alata L.) germplasm for reaction to yam anthracnose and virus diseases and their effect on yield, Egesi, C. N.*, Odu, B., Ogunyemi, S., Asiedu, R. and Hughes, J., in: Journal of Phytopathology, volume 155, number 9, pages 536-543, 2007.
 
Abstract:
Use of genetic resistance is the most practical and economic way to manage major diseases of yams. In a search for sources of resistance, 40 water yam (Dioscorea alata L.) accessions from Benin, Ghana, Nigeria and Puerto Rico were screened under natural disease infection conditions in Ibadan, Nigeria. The accessions were evaluated at 1, 3 and 6 months after planting (MAP) for severity of yam anthracnose and viral diseases. The effect of the pathogens on yield was also evaluated at harvest 9 MAP. There were significant differences (P < 0.001) between accessions for severities of anthracnose and viral diseases. Eight (20%) of them had lower anthracnose area under disease progress curves (AUDPC) values than the resistant check while 10 (25%) had AUDPC values below the trial mean. There were significant variations (P < 0.001) in yield components among the accessions. There was significant negative correlation of anthracnose severity with fresh tuber yield (r = -0.51) and with number of tubers per plot (r = -0.40). Similarly, significant negative correlations were observed of virus disease severity with fresh tuber yield (r = -0.78) and number of tubers per plot (r = -0.65). Linear regression models also showed that the fresh yield had significant negative relationships with anthracnose (R2 = 0.26) and viral (R2 = 0.62) diseases. The accessions identified as resistant constitute a valuable resource for breeding of resistant germplasm.

First report of cucumber mosaic virus in yams (Dioscorea spp.) in Ghana, Togo and Republic of Benin in West Africa, Eni, A., Kumar, P. L., Asiedu, R., Alabi, O., Naidu, R.*, Hughes, J. and Rey, M.*, in: Plant Disease, volume 92, number 5, pages 833, ISSN 0191-2917, 2008. [DOI]
 
Abstract:
Yam (Dioscorea spp., family Dioscoreaceae) is one of the most important food crops cultivated in the West African yam zone comprising the forest and savannah areas of Nigeria, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, Republic of Benin, and Togo, which account for more than 90% of the 4.59 million ha of yam cultivation worldwide (1). A survey was conducted in 2005 to document viruses in yams in Ghana, Togo, and the Republic of Benin. Samples (1,405) from five species of yam showing mosaic, chlorosis, and stunting as well as asymptomatic plants were tested for Dioscorea bacilliform virus (DBV, genus Badnavirus), Yam mosaic virus (YMV, genus Potyvirus), and Yam mild mosaic virus (YMMV, genus Potyvirus), the three most common viruses infecting yams. In addition, samples were tested for Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), since CMV was previously reported to infect yams in Cote d'Ivoire (2) and Nigeria (3). In protein-A sandwich-ELISA with polyclonal antibodies to a cowpea isolate of CMV, 23 of the 1,405 samples (6 of 218 samples from Togo, 13 of 628 samples from Ghana, and 4 of 559 samples from Republic of Benin) tested positive for CMV. The CMV-positive samples were from D. alata (N = 16) and D. rotundata (N = 7), whereas all samples from D. cayenensis, D. dumetorum, and D. bulbifera tested negative. CMV was detected as mixed infections with DBV, YMV, or YMMV in 21 of 23 samples. Some of these samples showed puckering, chlorosis, mottling, and crinkling, whereas some plants infected by two or more viruses were asymptomatic. Only two samples from D. rotundata had a single infection of CMV and they showed mild chlorotic symptoms in young leaves that were inconspicuous in mature leaves. In sap inoculations, the virus induced systemic mosaic in Nicotiana glutinosa. The presence of CMV in ELISA-positive yam samples was further confirmed by immunocapture-reverse transcription (IC-RT)-PCR using CMV antibodies as trapping antibody and oligonucleotide primers specific for a 485 nt corresponding to 3' end of the coat protein gene and C-terminal noncoding region of RNA-3 (4). To confirm the specificity of ICRT-PCR, the 485-bp amplicons from an isolate from the Republic of Benin was cloned into pCR2.1 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) and three independent clones were sequenced from both orientations. Pairwise comparison of a consensus sequence (Accession No. EU274471) with corresponding sequences of other CMV isolates deposited in GenBank showed 99% identity at the nucleotide sequence level (Accession No. U22821) and revealed that the CMV isolate from yam belongs to sub-Group IA. To our knowledge, this is the first report of CMV infection in yams (D. alata and D. rotundata) in Ghana, Togo, and the Republic of Benin. Together with a previous documentation of CMV in D. alata and D. trifida in Cote d'Ivoire and Nigeria (2,3), this report adds to existing knowledge on distribution of CMV in yams with implications for yam production and germplasm distribution in the West Africa Region.

Genetic transformation of cassava - independent of genotype, Jorgensen, K., Ingelbrecht, I., Jensen, S., Olsen, E., Sorensen, C., Kannangara, R. and Moller, B., 2008.
 
Abstract:
Cassava is a vegetatively propagated crop and its improvement through conventional breeding is challenging due to its high heterozygosity and low fertility. As it has not been possible to solve all cassava's problems connected to agriculture and consumption by traditional breeding, another solution could be to use molecular breeding. Major deficits of cassava are low protein content in the tubers, rapid post-harvest tuber deterioration and high content of cyanogenic glucosides. Careful processing of cassava roots is required to remove the released hydrogen cyanide which can cause acute or chronic cyanide intoxication. Unfortunately, processing to remove hydrogen cyanide typically results in loss of protein, minerals, and vitamins. For successfull molecular breeding of cassava, a genotype-independent genetic transformation method is essential. So far it has only been possible to transform model lines which have limited agricultural importance. Here a regeneration and transformation method is presented which has been successfully applied to all African varieties tested so far with a transformation frequency ranging from 0.2% to 3.8%. The method is based on the procedure developed by Li et al. (1996). This method is among others now used to 1) produce acyanogenic cassava (J{\o}rgensen et al 2005), 2) improve the nutritional value in the tubers, 3) virus resistance. The improvement of the nutritional value is focused on increasing the protein content in the tubers in varieties with and without a naturally increased levels of pro-vitamin A.

Severity of anthracnose and virus diseases of water yam (dioscorea alata L.) in NIgeria I: effects of yam genotype and date of planting, Egesi, C. N.*, Onyeka, T. and Asiedu, R., in: Crop Protection, volume 26, number 8, pages 1259-1265, ISSN 0261-2194, 2007.
 
Abstract:
Anthracnose and virus diseases exert devastating impacts on yam production in many tropical regions of the world where the crop contributes to food security and income generation. The complexities in their epidemiology necessitate the use of integrated approaches in their management. Six genotypes of Dioscorea alata, planted on six dates (March?August) in each of 1998 and 1999 in Ibadan, Nigeria, were evaluated to determine the effects of planting date and genotype on severity of the two diseases. The date of planting had a profound influence on anthracnose severity, contributing 72% of the observed variation due to combined effects of planting date, genotype and their interactions. In contrast, the genotype effect was most dominant with respect to virus severity, accounting for 85% of the total observed variation. Planting in August supported least anthracnose development while April and May plantings resulted in the least severity of virus diseases. While selection of planting time could be used to manage anthracnose disease, its application could be influenced by the prevailing weather conditions in a particular location. Two of the genotypes (TDa 291 and TDa 297) had low severity values for both diseases across the different planting dates. Availability of such sources of multiple disease resistance and appropriate choice of planting date would be very useful in integrated management of the two major yam diseases.

Somatic embryogenesis and genetic transformation of African farmer-grown cassava genotypes that are susceptible to the Cassava Brown Streak Disease, Ingelbrecht, I., Raji, A., Oyelakin, O., Winter, S., Moller, B., Dixon, A. and Jorgensen, K., 2008.
 
Abstract:
Cassava is one of the most important sources of carbohydrates for over 500 million people in the (sub)tropics. Cassava plays an important role in the food security of many developing nations, especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Cassava is highly heterozygous, genetically complex, and many varieties either do not flower or produce few seeds thus hampering conventional crop improvement. Several major constraints limit the production and utilization of cassava roots, including two viral diseases, the Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD) and the Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD), which are specific to SSA. Farmer-preferred landraces are often susceptible to CBSD and/or CMD. Genetic transformation of cassava could complement conventional breeding programs for CBSD and/or CMD resistance. Current protocols for genetic transformation of cassava are limited to model genotypes which are not used by farmers of breeders in SSA. Since transformation protocols are genotype-dependent, suitable procedures for genetic modification of the landraces need to be developed. We have established somatic embryogenesis and organogenesis for three farmer/breeder-preferred varieties, two from East Africa (cv Kibaha and cv Albert) and one from West Africa (TME12) which are susceptible to CBSD. Primary and cyclical somatic embryogenesis was established for the three varieties. Cotyledon tissues from somatic embryos were used as source explants for Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation. Using an intron-interrupted {\^a}{\"i}¿½glucuronidase reporter gene construct under control of the Cassava vein mosaic virus promoter, stably transformed cassava tissues and plants were obtained. Molecular evidence for stable expression of the transgenes will be presented.
