Background of MSc Plant Breeding Project:

In the first stage field evaluation in sugarcane breeding at SASRI, the genotypes within family plots are planted using tram-line plot configuration. Tramline plot configuration is when two adjacent rows are planted followed by an unplanted row. The unplanted row is used to provide easy access to the individual genotypes plots during yield measurements, disease inspections, eldana damage assessment and final genotype evaluation for selection and advancement. However, the unplanted row provides extra space for vigorous genotypes to exploit and grow larger. The effect on genotypes of the extra space provided by the unplanted row is not known. Further, if genotypes react differently when provided with extra space, the results of yield measurements may also vary and not be correlated to the results obtained when the genotypes are planted under normal commercial planting. In normal commercial planting, there is no tramline and continuous rows are planted. If the bias is significant, the tramline may result is selection of a significant proportion of genotypes that would not possess high yield under normal planting as is practiced during commercial planting. Understanding the impact of plot configurations on genetic and breeding parameters will increase accuracy of data and selection in the first stage of sugarcane breeding in South Africa.

Objectives of the Project:

The objectives of this study are to determine the genetic and breeding parameters for yield, quality, pest and disease traits under tramline and commercial planting plot configurations, determine phenotypic and genetic correlations under tramline and commercial plot configurations and evaluate implication on family evaluation, estimates of breeding values and field selection. The results from this study will be used to optimise the first stage of SASRI sugarcane breeding programmes.

The ideal candidate must have:

• BSc or BSc Hons in Plant Breeding, Genetics, Crop Science, Horticulture and Agronomy with a minor in Statistics.
• Strong academic background in the fields of genetics, plant breeding, quantitative genetics and statistics.
• Good knowledge and understanding of statistical data analysis using statistical software and experimental design is essential. However, further practical training will be provided.
• Possess critical thinking and analytical skills as well as the ability to work in a diverse team.

What the Bursary Offers:

This post-graduate bursary offers tuition fees and board and lodging on site at our Sugarcane Research Institute in Mount Edgecombe. The successful candidate will be based at SASRI (Mount Edgecombe) and will register with one of the South African Universities

The ideal candidate will have the following competencies:

Ability

• Critically review scientific literature
• Write a scientific research paper
• Analyse data and provide recommendations

Experience

• Analyising data and providing recommendations
• Preparing and presenting a research proposal
• Working with field trials

Knowledge

Requirements

The candidate must be a South African citizen and hold a Hons/BTech degree in the relevant discipline and have research experience in molecular biology, genetics, bioinformatics, epidemiology or related field.

Project 1:

A major focus of conservation genetics is the evolutionary consequences of loss of genetic diversity in a population. Loss of heterozygosity can result in an increased probability of homozygosity of deleterious recessive alleles resulting in a limited potential for the species to adapt to changing environments. The project will focus on the analysis of immune loci in endangered frog species to complement research based on neutral markers.

Project 2:

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers are the method of choice for genetic analyses. SNPs have several advantages including; their ease of analysis, increased sensitivity, ability to be used to match samples and determine relatedness. This project will focus on the validation of a SNP assay panel for genetic analysis and relatedness in felids.

Project 3:

The aim of this study will be to improve the ability and quality of genetic analysis protocols for the accurate identification of species, and different populations in the prosecution of wildlife crime. A combination of molecular markers will be selected based on species specific genome and published data obtained from various population studies on two antelope species (kudu Tragelaphus strepsiceros and bushbuck Tragelaphus scriptus) that are currently priorities in forensic cases. This will involve the identification and testing of alternative fragments of the genome including nuclear DNA (SNPs and Microsatellites).

Project 4:

There is a lack of research regarding the molecular epidemiology of infectious diseases in wildlife with no accurate diagnostic tests available for detection of infectious diseases. This project will focus on the development of accurate, reliable and reproducible molecular diagnostic tests and investigating molecular epidemiology of selected wildlife.

The NZG will assist the students with finding an appropriate co-supervisor at a South African University and will nominate a NZG supervisor. The students will be expected to register with a University by the end of January 2018.

Duration: January 2018 to December 2019
