11. • Cultivated peanut has a narrow genetic
basis (single event tetraploidization
origin)
• Wild genepool form a reservoir of useful
traits
• Cultivated is reproductively isolated
from wild by ploidy barrier
• Using CWR in breeding requires:
o Development of wild synthetics as a bridge
between cultivated and wild genepools
o Molecular genetics to monitor introgression
of useful traits
Tetraploidization
+ domestication

21. Key Take Home Messages
• Substantial capital and human investments have been made
over last decade
• Technology platforms suit to generate new discoveries and
cutting-edge products.
• Numerous biotechnologies have been released for traits
associated with drought adpatation, pest and soil management
(biofertilizers), yields productivity, food safety (Aflatoxin), and
nutrition (Iron, Zn, Vitamins).
• Shared acroos WCA
• A hundreds PHD and 75 MSc have ben trained over the 5 years
to enable implantation and effective use of biotechnologies in
breeding programs
22. Needs and Concerns
Speed-up a more productive and sustainable agriculture to
contribute in the PLAN SENEGAL EMERGENT
• Convert biotech and its applications to benefits small
stakeholders, agriculture and economy
• Take into account needs and preferences of vulnerable
populations to raise health and livelihoods
• Seeds systems for biotech
• Design and build new “flagship” programs/projects
• Develop capacity and infrastructures
• Access and benefits sharing (Public access, IP,
international regulations, etc.)
