Persistent neglect of the crop has resulted in continual loss of essential AYB germplasm with implications on its variability
Research on diversity and yield evaluation of this crop is
germane to its improvement
Using more recent genomic tools to understand the extent of genetic variability present in AYB will be beneficial to breeders

INTRODUCTION
• African Yam bean (AYB) is a tuberous legume of tropical
origin
• AYB is the most economically important among the
seven species of Sphenostylis
• It is a neglected and under-utilized species (NUS)
• AYB has immense potential as food and nutrition
security crop in sub-Saharan Africa

• 15-29 % high protein content in seeds and tubers
• Higher amino acids content than pigeon pea, cowpea and
Bambara groundnut (Adewale and Dumet, 2010; Uguru
and Madukaife, 2001)
• Seeds and tubers contains more than twice the protein in
sweet or Irish potatoes and ten times more than in
Cassava roots (NRC, 2006)

Production constraints
• Continual loss of genetic diversity
• Long maturity period
• Hard seed coat
• Need for stakes and training of vines
• Human perception

• Prior to this study, some molecular markers have been
used in diversity studies for a few selected AYB
accessions (RAPD and AFLP)
• Transferability of cowpea derived SSR markers in AYB
have been reported by Shitta et al., 2015

• NGS are high-throughput sequencing technologies
• New methods or approaches to NGS
Reduced- representation libraries (RRLs) or Complexity
reduction of polymorphic sequences (CRoPs)
Restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (RADSeq)
Low coverage genotyping

• Reduced labor, saves time and cost
• High resolution population genomic data
• Thousands of sequenced markers across many
individuals
• Large depth coverage of sequence
• Can be used for crops without a reference genome

OBJECTIVE
• To our knowledge, RADSeq has not been reported in
AYB therefore the objective of this study is to employ
RADSeq in unraveling and understanding the genetic
diversity in AYB germplasm
10
11. www.iita.org I www.cgiar.org
• Ninety three (93) accessions of AYB collected from the
Genetic Resources Centre, IITA, were used for this study
• Five seeds from each accession was planted in plastic
pots and grown in the vegetable crops field and
greenhouses, UC Davis, USA
• Two weeks old leaf seedlings were collected and bulked
into single samples
• Genomic DNA was extracted from lyophilised leaf
tissues using the Qiagen DNeasy plant mini kit
MATERIALS AND METHODS
11
12. www.iita.org I www.cgiar.org
• 96 multiplex GBS library was prepared using the Double
- Digest GBS protocol (modified version using
streptavidin dynabeads - Michelmore lab)
• GBS library was validated on Bioanalyzer and
sequencing was performed on Illumina Hiseq 4000 at the
DNA Technologies Core of the UC Davis, USA
12
14. www.iita.org I www.cgiar.org
• Tassels UNEAK pipeline was used to identify RAD tags
with SNPs
• SNPs called was used for admixture analysis for K1 = 2,
K2 = 3 and K3 = 4
• Distance matrixes was used to construct the phylogenetic
tree using the ape library in R software
• STRUCTURE 2.3.1 was used to infer the population
structure

• Four structured populations were postulated from this
study in the 93 accessions of African yam bean based
on SNP discovery
• Genetic variability was highest in cluster 3, with a
mean genetic distance of 0.21 while cluster 5 with the
least number of accession was the least variable
• TSs 47 in cluster 3 and TSs 4 in cluster 5 were the
most distantly related accessions in this study
