1 What are Genetically Modified Crops and how are they made? Professor Idah Sithole-Niang Department of Biochemistry, UZ GMASSURE - UZ
2 Outline Definitions Concept of Genetic Modification Agricultural context Why biotech? Challenges/Opportunities Status & specific opportunities in Africa Non-GM products
3 Definitions Biotechnology is the use of biological systems to create goods and services Gene manipulation Genetic engineering Genetic modification Transgenesis LMOs: living modified organisms GMOs: genetically modified organisms
4 Concept of Genetic Modification through plant transformation Identify genes of interest for a trait (eg. insect resistant genes) Insert into an organism of interest (eg. Insert insect resistance gene into a susceptible plant to make it resistant) very common with crop plants Genes can come from a variety of sources: From the same plant species From wild relatives From another crop From bacteria or another organism
5 Agricultural context Cross breeding and induced mutation are important tools of plant breeding, they also have limitations: 1. Cross breeding only works between related plants. 2. For some species cross breeding is extremely difficult. 3. Cross breeding can take very long. 4. Linkage drag 5. Mutation is very undirected and unpredictable, HORIZONS sprl
6 Genetic Modification of Plants Traditional plant breeding x elite variety Related variety Genetic Modification any gene source HORIZONS sprl
7 Genetic Modification of Plants Technical advantages: Specific Faster Possible with plants that do not cross sexually Much greater reservoir of genes HORIZONS sprl
8 Generating Varieties of Agricultural Plants and Animals Conventional breeding Crossing of two varieties with useful characteristics Hybrids Tissue culture Cloning Chemical mutagenesis Irradiation In vitro fertilization Artificial insemination
9 Using Radiation to Create Mutant Varieties of Plants Gamma Rays X Rays
10 Breeders, geneticists, and genetic engineers work with genes Genes carry the information that is passed from generation to generation. They are the blueprint of life Anything that is alive has genes. The information of genes is carried in the form of DNA molecules. The language of DNA, is the same regardless of the organism A key point for genetic engineering DNA molecule

12 Breeders, geneticists, and genetic engineers work with genes Anything that is alive has genes. The information of genes is carried in the form of DNA molecules. DNA molecule
13 Breeders, geneticists, and genetic engineers work with genes The language of DNA is spelt out in a simple alphabet of 4 letters A, C, G, T DNA molecule
14 Breeders, geneticists, and genetic engineers work with genes The language of DNA, is the same regardless of the organism A key point for genetic engineering DNA molecule
15 You and Your DNA How much of your DNA sequence do you share with a banana? A: None B: 1% C: 10% D: 50% E: 90% Do you know that humans share about 50% of their DNA with a banana! Good grief!: I m a banana! Sigma ad 8/2008
16 Getting genes into cells plant transformation 2. Put the engineered gene into cells of the desired plant
17 Step X step Dr. Mufandaedza
18 Regulation of GM crops moves through different stages of crop development and deployment General release Full safety assessment Confined Field Trials Lab Growth Chamber or greenhouse CFT Application General Release Application Approval
19 1. Why biotechnology? World population will reach 9 billion by 2040 Some undernourished either in terms of both quantity or quality Arable land shrinking due to erosion, pollution, and other forms of land use Increasing shortage of fresh water for drinking and irrigation Climate change will increase the need for keeping up with well adapted crops
20 2. Why biotechnology? Increasing demand for fuels and chemicals from renewable sources as oil reserves become depleted and oil-based commodities more expensive 80% of world caloric intake comes from only 4 crops Not a silver bullet but can contribute significantly to finding solutions to these challenges
21 1.Challenges Need to produce: More crops per hectare More crop per liter of water Marginal- Arid- or Saline land
22 2. Challenges Enhance: Nutritional value of crops Crop diversity Reduce: Dependency on pesticides & fertilizers Post-harvest losses during storage & transport Soil erosion
23 Do these challenges apply to Zimbabwe? What are the Opportunities'?
24 1. Opportunities/pipeline Biotic stress: Disease resistance Fungal resistance Banana/Black sigatoka Virus resistance banana, cassava, yam, papaya, groundnut, sweetpotato & tomato Bacterial resistance rice, cassava, banana & potato Pest resistance/field & storage
25 2. Opportunities/pipeline Abiotic stress tolerance Drought tolerance maize (WEMA), wheat rice sorghum etc Salinity tolerance- maize, wheat, tobacco, sorghum, rice etc (NUWEST)
26 3. Opportunities/pipeline Enhanced nutrition: rice, cassava & sorghum (pro-vitamin A, Fe, Zn, Vit E) Banana- pro-vitamin A & Fe, wheat- Fe Maize, potatoes, sorghum & cassava (protein quality). Mustard pro-vitamin A Others: reducing cyanogenic compounds in cassava & changing available P by reducing phytates
27 You mean there are all these wonderful Opportunities!!!!?? Why the controversy? What are the issues?? Mr Dhlamini
28 Any Good examples in the BRICS? BRAZIL, CHINA & INDIA Prof CJC
29 What would it feel like if the DR & SS had $1 billion budget? What would it feel like if the NBA reviewed, 14 applications annually???
30 Whos Who In Africa? and where are they with their regulation? Dr. Mufandaedza
31 Developing high quality Pod-borer-resistant cowpea varieties Problem Insect damage in the field and in storage Losses can be up to 80%. Frequent insecticide sprays required Host plant resistance is a low-cost and environmentally friendly control measure for the farmer Figure 7. Pod damage by M. vitrata Product High yielding cowpea varieties with increased resistance to insect pests - Bt-Cowpea (Pod borer- Resistant Cowpea)
32 Resistance to Banana Bacterial Wilt for East African Highland Bananas Constraint: Banana bacterial wilt (BBW) disease caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm)
33 Water Efficient Maize for Africa Africa drought-prone Maize is the most widely grown staple crop in Africa affected by drought (WEMA) In 2003 WFP spent $0.57b on food emergency due to drought in Africa Recorded droughts between 1971 and 2000, and the number of people affected
34 Drought tolerant Maize
35 Is there a drought in Zimbabwe?? Do some of these solutions apply??
36 Confined Field Trial to Evaluate Transgenic Cassava for Resistance to Cassava Mosaic Disease - D3/2/NBC/4/08 Susceptible (without the gene) Gene silencing line (with gene to control CMD)
37 Symptoms of CBSD at Harvest: CBSD Study Symptomless leaves and stems of best test line ( ) Severe streaking and dieback on control line without gene
38 What will you have for dinner???
39 Symptoms of CBSD at Harvest: CBSD study Best test line; No rotting of the storage roots Control line without the gene; severe rotting of roots
40 Eggplant (Brinjal or Talong) Fruit and Shoot Borer This damage is prevented by Bt.
41 Bt cotton CFT in Malawi 2013 Mr. Mhandu
42 Biotech crops on trial in Africa RSA: potatoes, sugarcane, maize WEMA : RSA, Kenya, Uganda Kenya: cotton, maize, SP, cassava Egypt: cotton, potato, wheat, cucumber, melon Uganda: banana, cotton,cassava,maize, rice Nigeria - cowpea, cassava, sorghum Burkina Faso: cowpea, rice Malawi cotton, cowpea, banana
43 New Breeding Technologies Non- GM Technologies Need we even dream???
44 Non-GM: Genome editing technologies CRISPRs: clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats ZFNs: Zinc finger nucleases TALENs : transcription activator-like effector nucleases
45 Zinc Finger Nucleases Successfully used to introduce herbicide tolerance = WEED CONTROL
46 TALENs Used to delete and cut out a gene in rice that confers susceptibility to bacterial blight disease
47 CRISPRs Chinese Academy of the Sciences developed a powdery mildew-resistant wheat through advanced gene editing Example of modification of a food crop without using insertion foreign genes
48 Three Requirements for growth of GM crops in Africa Political will and support from lead countries, governments and institutions Establishment of responsible and efficient regulatory systems, that are appropriate for Africa given the limited resources Communication with Society transparently and accurately
49 Thank you for your attention
