GRM2011: Improving groundnut productivity in Africa
1. TLI- Objective 1: Improve groundnut
productivity for marginal environments
from Sub-Saharan Africa
Brief update – Important areas of progress
EMBRAPA- UGA – ICRISAT – ISRA-Senegal – Malawi Nat.
Prog. – Tanzania Nat. Prog
Hyderabad 25 Sept 2011
2. Update on groundnut objective
Perspectives for using synthetics
Current progress on drought
3. Sources of disease resistance:
Rust : ICGV 02194, ICG 11426, ICGV 01276, ICGV 02286, and ICG 02446
Rosette : ICG 14705, ICG 13099, ICG 9449, and ICG 15405
ELS : ICG 6022, ICG 405, ICG 14466, ICG 6057, ICG 9449 and ICG 12509; ICG 6703; ICG
10036, ICG 10384, and ICG 11219

6. Rust: Three populations (JL24 x ICGV 94114, ICGV 93437 x
ICGV 94114 and ICGV 93437 x 95342) are being phenotyped at
F5 as well as bulking up seed for second season phenotyping at
F6.
ELS: Two populations (ICGV-SM 95714 x Robut 33-1, ICGV-SM
95714 x ICGV 93437).
Rosette: Three populations (Chalimbana x ICGV-SM 90704,
CG7 x ICGV-SM 90704 and JL 24 x ICGV-SM 90704) were one
generation behind. These will be advanced through two
generations and phenotyped at F6 in Dec – April 2012.
