1
Update on Capacity Building through IBP IBP annual meeting, June 2011 Wageningen
2
CB to enable MB and product delivery Platform of training resources and a cadre of trained scientists to apply advanced technologies and add value to GCP products Research and learning opportunities for GCP collaborators and NARS scientists to further GCP mission and progress Systems for ensuring product delivery Development and implementation of support services
3
What the IBP will offer Access to Breeding Services: well characterised and useful genetic resources quality, economic high throughput genotyping sophisticated phenotype and metabolite analyses Access to Informatics Tools: for breeding logistics and data management analysis and decision support for molecular breeding accumulated public crop information of certified quality Capacity Development - Training and support for: planning and comparing breeding strategies data management and curation and quality control analysis and decision support use of markers and molecular breeding techniques phenotyping sites and protocols use and protection of intellectual property Community development support for communities of practice by crop or discipline facilitation of germplasm exchange
4
Support services GSS (Genotyping support service) GSS was started in 2007 Facilitates access to molecular breeding technologies for organizations from the developing countries Implemented through subcontracting genotyping work with service providers with the state-of-the-art technologies Accepted through open calls Average funding around 10k USD with maximum of 15k

7
Evolution of GSS (2011) Focus on GCP projects (TL1 and RI) Strengthen NARS capacity to carry MAS activities Introduce MAS in PhD programmes (ACCI & WACCI) Small MB projects Application of available markers from previous projects Focus on RI crops Introduction to MAB via CoPs
8
Support services TL1 and RI communities Data Management Workshops West Africa (Breeding management system: pedigree, germplasm list, data curation, use of handhelds) TL1 annual meeting (IBP Fieldbook) Analysis and Decision support QTL analysis Selection indices Training
9
Support services Phenotyping support Station managers (communication, record system, maintenance systems, field operations, equipment use, supervision of field activities) Training
10
Communities of Practice (CoP) Breeding support through IBP Bring people together Share of knowledge and skill sets Initiation of MAS programmes in the public sector including NARS in Africa and Asia Training on MAS Training on Data management Forms core groups for future funding opportunities
11
Where are we? 2007 GCP project built on previous project funding from Rockefeller Foundation Build on Thailand experience w/MAS to train scientists in the Mekong region (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar) Improve popular rice varieties from the region by introgression of desireable traits: salinity tolerance cooking traits aroma Get deliverable products Rice in the Mekong region
12
Where are we? Breeding activities: Popular rice varieties improved Capacity building: Hands on training Video on laboratory techniques to carrying out MAS. Enthusiasm of each institute to learn and apply MB Share of knowledge on QTL and MAS Transfer to partner institutes through workshops Rice in the Mekong region (outputs)
13
Where are we? Breeding activities: Improved farmer preferred varieties for CMD and CGM using MAS Gene pyramiding for CMD resistance (CMD2 and CMD3) Marker-assisted introgression of CMD resistance into CBSD tolerance genetic background in East Africa Marker-aided germplasm transfer from primary center of diversity for novel traits Molecular characterization of local germplasm Development of advanced breeding populations Fast-track MAS-based breeding scheme Breeding for Cassava in Africa
14
Capacity building Training of post graduate students, research assistants Molecular breeding and data analysis Workshops Simple MAS facilities Sharing knowledge on Phenotyping and MAB applications Transfer Marker technology to partners through hands-on training workshop Information exchange (data) Breeder to breeder visit Where are we? Breeding for Cassava in Africa
15
Communities of Practice (CoP) Focused around Molecular Breeding Share advances and technology of TL1 crops with broader community. Introduction to MAS and outsourced genotyping Share knowledge and experience - each other & w/mentors Share MABC projects Exchange of material for phenotyping (MABC, MARS, MAGIC) Technical support for MABC Tropical Legume I, Phase 2
16
Communities of Practice (CoP) Chickpea CoP 4 th May 2011, Madrid, Spain Cowpea & Soybean CoP 19 th May 2011, Ibadan, Nigeria Study cases for design of CoP webpage and forum Bean CoP Existing networks to build from (PABRA, ECABRN, SABRN Structured breeding programmes to avoid duplication Exchange of material for phenotyping and adoption Tropical Legume I, Phase 2
17
IBP platform and CoP Adoption of IBP and its tools by CoP members is important for viability of the portal Stakeholders Driving force Management of the resources GSS Run by the CoPs for members
18
Challenges GSS Main objective promote and support molecular breeding A lot of programmes just starting and need: Germplasm/parental fingerprinting first (costly) Delays MAS start Also -populations not developed Sweetener for CoP membership Should not be the main reason for membership Find more potential donors to face high demand
19
Challenges Training Encourage partners to use the e-learning or Web-based training and not wait for face to face workshop Reach the right target: People with the similar level of knowledge prior to workshop Right person (technician, scientists) Budget versus location Visa issue limiting participation High price of airfare and accommodation
20
Challenges CoPs Engage people to participate and share information: Some scientists might see it as a social network and believe they have no time for it To many other urgent matters Encourage people to give back to the community: Advice and skill sharing Share opportunities Funding opportunities Keeping community energised and engaged Future of the CoP = Future of IBP

Social Networking for Molecular Breeding THANK YOU
