2. • Considerable genome diversity
within isolates of a species
CBSV>UCBSV
Cassava Brown Streak Disease….
• Two monopartite +ssRNA
viruses of genus Ipomovirus
(Family Potyviridae)
• Two major strains reported
•Uganda cassava Brown
Streak Virus
•Cassava brown streak Virus
Winter et. al.
4. CBSD: Successful colonization….
• Re-emerges in the SSA
region in 2001
• Resistance sources un-
adapted & rare but could
be explored.
• Reports of Quantitative
(Multi-genic) inheritance
of CBSD resistance
• Phenotyping protocol still
challenging

QTL detection in
bi-parental
crosses
Only allelic variation present in the
two parents captured
Best suited for traits with
high heritability
Complex hybrids from 2
heterozygous parents

7. QTL studies in cassava…..
Trait / study Markers used Key findings
CBB
(Jorge et al. 1999)
68 RFLPs 120QTLs (8 in female + 4 in male)
CMD
(Akano et al. 2002)
186 SSRs 1 SSR linked to a QTL (SSRY28)
Productivity
(Fregene et al. 1997)
250 markers 114 QTLs
CBB
(Wydra et al. 2004)
63 SSRs 11 QTLs identified
CNP and dry matter
(Kizito et al. 2007)
110 SSRs 2 QTLs for CNP & 6 QTLs for DMC
Anthracnose 53 RAPDs 2 RAPDs (single Dominant gene)
CBSD
(Kanju et al.)
500 SSRs 3 Markers reported; EST-SSRY75, NS149 &
SSR83

8. Are Association approaches
complimentary?
Allelic variation in a breeders’
population captured
Most current target traits are
multi-genic Difficult to get
statistical power to detect
LD or association mapping by-
passes the need for bi-parental
mapping populations

9. Association mapping data sets
• 429 accessions
• Phenotyped 3 years (3trials)
• Based on foliar and root
phenotypes
• 3MAP, 6MAP, 9MAP, 12MAP
• Infector rows used to augment
disease pressure (TME 204)
• Standard and local checks

less than 5% of storage root
tissue is necrotic
3
5-10% of storage root tissue is
necrotic
4
10-50% of storage root tissue is
necrotic

CBSD Root Severity Scoring Scale
11. Association mapping data sets
• Genotyped 429 using the GBS
pipeline
• ≈ 36,000 SNPs at a 0.05% MAF
• Analysis
• Used Gapit package under R
19. Summary….…
• We identified SNPs with strong association to
CBSD resistance on chromosomes; 5 and 11
• Significant SNPs could be weighted for genome wide
predictions for better accuracies in GS.
• Fine mapping for gene discovery underway
• Identify and validate key genes involved in resistant
response to CBSD
• Further evaluation of virus resistance based on
virus titres could be complimentary
• Stability of resistance across environments is
being explored.
