O. Box 765,  Entebbe, Uganda Tel : 256-414-322129; Fax : 256-414-322593 Email:  [email_address] com ;  [email_address] Presented at the CIALCA conference: Challenges and Opportunities for Agricultural Intensification of the Humid Highland systems of sub Saharan Africa, Oct 24-27, 2011, Kigali Rwanda
ASARECA has 10 MEMBER COUNTRIES ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Mission:  Enhance regional collective action in  agricultural research for development, extension and agricultural training and education to p romote  economic growth, fight poverty ,  eradicate hunger  and  enhance sustainable use of resources in Eastern and Central Africa.
Rational for ASARECA’s Investment into Biotechnology ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Objectives of ASARECA’s investment in Biotechnology  ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Biotechnological tools being promoted by ASARECA
Genetic Engineering of Maize for Drought tolerance ,[object Object]
Success story of Maize project  ,[object Object],Sudanese Maize transformed with  NHX1 gene Putative transformant  Glass house care of transfomats  Ms Rasha Adam invented a drought tolerant  gene  &  named  it ASARECA  AnxZm35 gene
Success story of Maize project  ,[object Object],Sudanese Maize transformed with  NHX1 gene Putative transformant  Glass house care of transfomats  Ms Rasha Adam invented a drought tolerant  gene  &  named  it ASARECA  AnxZm35 gene
From difficult to possibilities
Establishment of a Genetic Transformation Platform for Cassava  Status: Completed and functional All have acquired biosafety level II status .  GM cassava has been developed for resistance to CMD and CBSD
Applying tissue culture to improve access to cassava and sweetpotato clean planting materials for farmers  ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Developing/acquiring and standardizing virus indexing tools for cassava and sweet potato culture materials ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Conservation for Sustainable Availability of Cassava and Sweetpotato Germplasm through Biotechnology Applications ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Freezing equipment
Storage in liquid nitrogen in Dewar flask
Genetic Linkage Mapping of Field Resistance to Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD)  ,[object Object]
Fighting Striga: Resistance Genes Deployed to Boost Sorghum Productivity ,[object Object],[object Object]
Success story of striga project  ,[object Object],Donor Parent N13 for  striga resistant gene Background  parent, Wad Ahmed One of 50 lines developed with resistance to Striga
Fine Mapping of genes associated with Striga resistance in sorghum
Diagnostic and control tools and strategies for  Taenia solium  Cysticercosis ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Pig1 and Pig3 are negative others positive.  The top line is the control (present in all samples) while the bottom is the test line  (present only in the positive samples).  So the antibodies have good potential in this assay.   We now have 300 of the devices at ILRI and aim to start testing them on many more pig sera
Vaccine development & Trials in ECA ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Transfer of Banana Tissue Culture, Tissue Culture Certification and Tissue Culture Business Network Project ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Key challenges  ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Future of this project ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
