IPPS8 Session 5: Jana Kholova - Advanced PhenoTech Assists Crop Breeding for Low Productive Systems

Title: Advanced Pheno-Tech to Assist Crops Breeding for Low Productive Agricultural Systems: Towards Shifting the Paradigm Jana Kholova, Janila Pasupuleti, Madina Diancoumba, Tharanya Murugesan, Krithika Anbazhagan, Amir Hajjarpoor, Laura Gregoire, Vincent Vadez, Michel Ghanem, Vincent Garin, Sivasakthi Kaliamoorthi, Sunita Choudhary, Jan Pavlik, Lukas Spichal Abstract: Technological innovation of crops’ breeding methods might unlock the potential of low productive agricultural systems which currently pose a serious threat to food security. To this end, plant phenotyping technologies are being increasingly used to breed new crop cultivars. This technological transition is, however, not fully utilized, particularly in South Asian and African agricultural systems. The bottlenecks typically hindering technology innovations of crops phenotyping in this context are, among others: relevance, management and utilization of generated data, cost, transferability and sustainability of technologies. We will present the methodological approach and technology-bundles that were implemented in support of South Asian peanut improvement program; i.e. system design-guided phenotyping and technology supporting postharvest operations. We will focus on particular strategies that helped us to overcome the bottlenecks encountered in this case. We will introduce the metrics to evaluate the pheno-technology impact in practical breeding applications that is related to the “breeder’s equation” and economic effectivity (selection time, intensity, and accuracy, genetic gain, cost and sustainability of operations). We will summarize the status of phenomic approaches in West Africa (WA) and focus on the issues restraining the technology operationalization and scaling. This will include examples of sorghum envirotyping and cropping system design using APSIM-based modeling approach. We will describe some of the on-going phenotyping effort (to characterize crops and crop produce) to support sorghum breeding programs in WA (e.g. characterization of BCNAM population and diversity panels). Based on this experience, we will argue for new methods and approaches as well as the need for research networks and knowledge hubs to realize the benefits of pheno-technological advancement in breeding for such context.
