Pre-Breeding and Trait Discovery
Break-Out Session
Rajeev Gupta, PhD (Cantab)
Principal Scientist & Theme Leader-Genomics & Trait Discovery, ICRISAT
FP5 Leader- CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes & Dryland Cereals (GLDC)

2. FP5: Cluster of Activities (CoAs)
Major activity
CoA 5.1: Pre-breeding
Use of natural (e. g, in un-adapted germplasm) or induced (e. g., mutants populations) diversity available in key priority traits in GLDC crops
CoA: 5.2 Trait discovery
Trait discovery, dissection and elucidation with molecular, omics, biochemical and physiological tools to provide markers/alleles/events for use in breeding
CoA 5.3: Enabling technologies
Modern enabling tools, technologies, and platforms to facilitate efficient trait discovery and breeding

4. FP5: Break Out Session Discussion Points
LISTEN to partners for priorities and partnership to deliver
W1/W2 is very-very limited and 80% to used to cover salaries
Identify the priority activities/projects in each CoA for 2018 & beyond
Leverage funds available in current bilateral and estimate gap funding
Priority list of activities for 2018 (for POWB)
Priority list for long term activities (2018 beyond)
RMC makes final call of funding support
Support for students/exchange visit (fund similar to innovation fund?)
Innovation fund
$0.5M for 2018
Partners can leverage
More details to come from RMC

5. FP5: Break Out Session
Group of ~12-15 people (including partners) in FP5 session
One joint session with FP4
Most discussions around priority traits in each crop/region/partner for COA5.1 (PB) and 5.2 (TD)
