1 Physiological Phenotyping for Adaptation to Droughtprone and Low Phosphorus Environments in Cowpea Nouhoun Belko, Kanako Suzuki, Jimmy Burridge, Patricio Cid, Omonlola Worou, Seyni Salack, Yonnelle Moukoumbi, Vincent Vadez, Jonathan Lynch, Thomas Sinclair, Christian Fatokun and Ousmane Boukar Pan-African Grain Legume & World Cowpea Conference 01 March 2016, Livingstone-Zambia
2 International Institute of Tropical Agriculture Established in 1967, Member of CGIAR. Work with partners to help smallholder farmers to raise agricultural production and productivity, improve food security, and increase incomes in SSA. Mandate on cassava, maize, yam, banana/plantain, soybean, Cowpea. Headquarters in Ibadan-Nigeria, research Hubs/Stations in West (Kano), East, Central and Southern Africa.
3 Frequent and Intense Droughts with Climate Change
4 Global P deficiency: primary constraint to life on earth Issue of accessibility and affordability of fertilizers by smallholder farmers
5 Potential Benefit from 21st century green revolution Benefit from 20th century green revolution Yield Can we develop genotypes with superior yield at low soil fertility and moisture levels? Dwarf genotypes respond to high fertility But no yield gain at low fertility (*) Traditional genotypes lodge at high fertility Soil Fertility/Moisture
6 Contrasting strategies for water and low P Objectives: Define environment, Understand mechanisms, genetic improvement Hypothesis: Soil water saving, soil foraging and nutrient acquisition H 2 O 5% 11% P 4ppm 10cm 2ppm 20cm 18% 23% 0.5ppm 30cm 0.25ppm 40cm
7 Phenotyping: bottleneck in modern breeding Physiologist-geneticist: precise information on some aspects of the cell, organ, plant level in large genetic populations Breeder: set of testing sites in a given target environment to evaluate performance - yield in promising breeding lines Agronomist: evaluate a given line across number of agro packages Field-based phenotyping of yield in target regions (Nigeria, Senegal) Trait-based phenotyping of key phenes identified in the modeling outputs
8 Field screening for drought tolerance and high yield potential in cowpea germplasm 348 lines + 12 checks under 2 water regimes with 3 replications Plant phenology (days to flowering and maturity), yield components (fodder, pod and grain), visual scoring for (i) Striga infestation and(ii) canopy leaf senescence under drought, and SPAD-CMR, NDVI and IR leaf temperature data on selected lines
