Conventional Breeding for Insect Resistance§ Has, in general, lagged behind disease resistance§ However, there is germplasm with resistance to insect-
pests, including FAW§ Breeding for insect-pest resistance requires good
knowledge of the biology of the host as well as the pest§ Effectiveness depends upon:
• Available diversity of germplasm• Efficient insect rearing technique• Efficient artificial infestation of the host• Breeding techniques employed

Conventionally-derived Resistance to FAW
CIMMYT, during the1980s and 1990s,developed an arrayof populations aswell as elite inbredlines (>60 CMLs) withresistance to FAW,derived mainly fromthe Caribbean maizegermplasm.

Breeding for FAW resistance in temperate maize
• USDA-ARS (Mississippi) utilized CIMMYT’s FAWresistant tropical maize germplasm, besidestemperate maize germplasm, in developing andregistering a series of temperate maize inbredlines with FAW resistance (e.g., Mp704-Mp708,Mp713, Mp714 and Mp716).
• Conventional breeding for FAW resistance,however, took a backseat after the advent of Btmaize in the US in the 1990s.

FAW and Aflatoxin Resistance
†AF indicates the line was developed and released as a source of resistanceto aflatoxin accumulation; FAW indicates the line was developed andreleased as a source of resistance to fall armyworm leaf feeding damage.
§Fall armyworm leaf feeding damage sustained by germplasm lines grownin 2015 and 2016 was rated on a scale of 0 (no damage) to 9 (heavy damage)14 days after plants were infested with 30 neonates each.

What is the basis for conventional resistance to FAW?
• Mp708 and FAW7050 (resistant): elevated defensiveproteins following insect herbivory (greaterconversion of photosynthates to defensive proteins);higher amino acid and glucose contents; constitutiveaccumulation of jasmonic acid.
• Susceptibility of Ab24E to S. frugiperda was due to ahigh P/C ratio (protein-to-total non-structuralcarbohydrates) and a low level of induced defensivecompounds.

§ (E)-β-caryophyllene, a terpenoid associated with resistance, isreleased constitutively in Mp708.
§ FAW-fed samples of both Mp708 (resistant) and Tx601(susceptible) showed high transcript number of tps23, the generesponsible for the synthesis of (E)-β-caryophyllene.
§ FAW larvae show a preference for Tx601 whorl tissue over Mp708tissue; dosage of Tx601 whorl with (E)-β-caryophyllene repels theFAW!

§ Antibiosis was detected in the sorghum landraceaccessions from Honduras -- San Bernardo III, Hilate-179, Piña-61, and Lerdo-104.
§ A hypothesis, based on differential selection andincreased selection pressure brought about throughintercropping with maize, was presented to explain thedevelopment of antibiosis in these landracepopulations.

Use of DH to accelerate genetic gain• Speed:
– Greatly reduces the length of a breeding cycle to creategenetically pure lines
– 100% homozygosity without genetic segregation– Helped us to combine different traits into a single lines within
2-3 generation compared to traditional pedigree breedingwhich request 7-8 generation of selfing
• Increased response to early selection– DH lines have higher genetic variance in per se & testcross
trials compared to F2 or selfed families (F3 or F4)– Better estimates of QTL effects with homozygous lines

Short-term (within 2 years)– Set-up FAW insect-rearing and germplasm screening facilities– Screen available insect-resistant hybrids/varieties, if already
available (e.g., Stem-borer tolerant CIMMYT hybridsdeveloped and released through IRMA Project); Scale-uppromising hybrids; Deploy in targeted geographies
– Validate already available FAW-resistant inbred lines(CIMMYT; exotic) against FAW populations in Africa, andidentify most promising germplasm
– Test the efficacy of Bt maize (MON810; MON89034) underConfined Field Trials (CFTs) against FAW in Africa (incountries that are willing to adapt GM maize as a solutionagainst FAW)

In Conclusion…• Insufficient attention has been given to the integration of
conventionally-derived resistance with other IPM tactics ineffective management of insect-pests of crops in general.
• We need to effectively utilize and quantify the benefitsof host plant resistance in multi-tactic IPM programs.
• Keys to overcoming the barriers:– Systematic analysis of compatibility and possible synergies
between host plant resistance with other IPM approaches(e.g., biological and chemical control) with regard to FAW inAfrica
– Increased application of modern genetic tools in acceleratingbreeding for improved Africa-adapted varieties with FAWresistance and other farmer-preferred traits
– A more quantitative approach to understanding the cost-benefits of various IPM approaches
