B4FA 2013 Ghana: Status of maruca-resistant cowpea project in Ghana - IDK Atokple
- 1. Status of Maruca-Resistant Cowpea Project in Ghana By IDK Atokple Presentation at the Second Workshop on Training the Media organized by B4FA , Accra, 13-16 March 2013
- 2. Pod damage Maruca vitrata and its devastating effects
- 3.  Minimizes yield losses (Yield loss due to Maruca is 30-80%)  Reduces reliance on hazardous chemical - pesticides – (health and environment )  Improves the nutritional value of the grains  Overall cost of production reduced – increased profit margin.
- 4.  IITA and NARS in West Africa dedicated over 30 years to cowpea research and development.  Breeding for pest, disease and abiotic stresses  Insect pests: Aphids, flower thrips, pod borers, pod -sucking bugs, bruchids.
- 5. Successful Genetic transformation – of Cowpea line (IT86D 1010) from Nigeria
- 7. 81% Survival 0% Survival 0% Survival Control cv. IT86D Tg1 67A5-11 Tg2 67A5-14 Non Transgenic Transgenic Cowpea
- 9.  The passage of the Legislative instrument, LI 1887 and the Boisafety Act 831 of 2011 – has given the legal support for any research and subsequent release of GMOs in Ghana.
- 10.  To evaluate the efficacy of tested transgenic lines expressing the Bt (Cry1Ab) protein against Maruca vitrata.  To evaluate the agronomic performance (e.g. germination rate, phenotype, grain yield etc.) of the transgenic cowpea lines vs. the non- transgenic lines.
- 11.  To initiate collection of preliminary data relevant to an environmental risk assessment that would be submitted to regulatory authorities as part of an application for field release.  To transfer the resistant gene into the commercial cowpea lines for subsequent on- farm evaluations and release.  No release is intended at this stage!!!!!!!!!
- 12.  CSIR-SARI has completed the major constructions at the Confined field trial (CFT) site to the satisfaction of the NBC.   Her research team and Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) are in place   The research team and the IBC members have undergone some trainings organized by AATF, ABNE, FARA and ICBEG covering CFT management, biosafety regulations, stewardship and communications strategies of biotechnology research

- 16. Packaging Goal: Prevention of accidental release and loss of material confinement • Primary container • Secondary container • Tertiary container • All independently sealable (preferably waterproof)
- 17. Packaging Primary: Metal cans, Plastic bottles, Plastic bags Secondary: Plastic or metal cans or boxes Tertiary: Any of the 2° or wooden boxes or crates • Seeds of different varieties may be separated in sub- containers • Preferable to ship non-GM seed separate from GM seed
- 18. Labeling Labeling with sufficient information for: • Identification of contents • Contact details of official contact person ‘Genetically Modified Plant Material for Research Purposes Only. Do Not Use for Food or Feed’
- 19. ‘Do Not Eat’ Symbol
- 20. Retention of Packaging • Primary container and the labeling is used for storage of plant material • Can be retained through the duration of the authorization period • Disposal: incineration
- 21. Disposal of Packaging Materials • Cleaning of primary container with sterilizing agent depending on container • Disposal by burying, incineration, etc. • Any breach of primary container requires destruction of secondary and tertiary packaging materials

- 24. Shipment and Receipt • Shipping form is record of transport and chain- of-custody documentation • Additional inventory lists may be attached • Recipient shall retain a copy of completed Shipping Form (and import permits, phytosanitary certificates, etc.) • Copies of all documents should be retained in a file at the trial site and made available to regulatory authorities upon request
- 25. Receipt • Complete recipient information on Shipping Form • Verify that packaging is intact. Note any damage to containers in Shipping Form • Verify that all listed items have been received • If release of GM material suspected, the lead scientist and the trial manager should be notified immediately
- 26. Storage • To preserve identity, security and integrity of GM plant materials • To prevent consumption by humans or livestock • To prevent unwanted release in the environment
- 27. Storage Facility • Restricted access to authorized personnel • Sign-posted with ‘GM Plant Material – Not for Use in Food or Feed’ • GM material to be kept separate from non-GM in the same facility • GM material must be clearly marked or labeled to prevent misidentification • Storage Inventory: Maintained and available for inspection by National Biosafety Office personnel
- 28.  The CFT application to the National Biosafety Committe has been approved by the NBC in Nov 2012.  The required corrections of the CFT Application have being effected for re- submission to the NBC.  Need for import permit for CSIRO. Modalities are being finalized with the NBC and the PPRSD.
- 29. Application Permit Planting Harvest/Termination Completion Technical Review Regulatory Decision Legal Authorization With Terms & Conditions Regulatory Inspections Current Season Post-Harvest Period
- 30. Aim to:  Prevent dissemination of new genes into the environment (i.e., prevent pollen flow)  Prevent the persistence in the environment of the experimental biotech plants and progeny (i.e., contain seed and planting material)  Prevent introduction of the experimental material into livestock feed or human food pathways
- 32.  Workshops have been planned with AATF for awareness creation.  The NBC is also planning joint awareness creation workshops with the project team specifically in the community where CFT will be carried out.  Planting is anticipated in July/August, 2013.
