Local genetic diversity of sorghum in a village in northern Cameroon: structure and dynamics of landraces

Adeline Barnaud; Monique Deu; Eric Garine; Doyle McKey; Hélène Joly

We present the first study of patterns of genetic diversity of sorghum landraces at the local scale. Understanding landrace diversity aids in deciphering evolutionary forces under domestication, and has applications in the conservation of genetic resources and their use in breeding programs. Duupa farmers in a village in Northern Cameroon distinguished 59 named sorghum taxa, representing 46 landraces. In each field, seeds are sown as a mixture of landraces (mean of 12 landraces per field), giving the potential for extensive gene flow. What level of genetic diversity underlies the great morphological diversity observed among landraces? Given the potential for gene flow, how well defined genetically is each landrace? To answer these questions, we recorded spatial patterns of planting and farmers’ perceptions of landraces, and characterized 21 landraces using SSR markers. Analysis using distance and clustering methods grouped the 21 landraces studied into four clusters. These clusters correspond to functionally and ecologically distinct groups of landraces. Within-landrace genetic variation accounted for 30% of total variation. The average Fis over landraces was 0.68, suggesting high inbreeding within landraces. Differentiation among landraces was substantial and significant (Fstxa0=xa00.36). Historical factors, variation in breeding systems, and farmers’ practices all affected patterns of genetic variation. Farmers’ practices are key to the maintenance, despite gene flow, of landraces with different combinations of agronomically and ecologically pertinent traits. They must be taken into account in strategies of conservation and use of genetic resources.

Conclusion. Systèmes alimentaires du bassin du lac Tchad : homogènes ou différenciés ?

Christine Raimond; Eric Garine; Olivier Langlois

Dès les années 1930, les premiers observateurs de lalimentation dans la région avaient noté la diversité des régimes alimentaires des collectivités paysannes (Créach, 1993) qui combinent, chacune à sa façon, plantes et animaux, ressources sauvages et cultivées. Tirant profit de la connaissance des ressources du milieu, la plupart des sociétés du bassin du lac Tchad disposent dun savoir permettant de recourir à une large palette de nourritures potentielles. On peut toutefois se demander si, suite aux transformations écologiques importantes que subit la région depuis quelques décennies, ces ressources sont toujours disponibles, et en quantité suffisante, pour assurer aujourdhui la diversité du régime nécessaire, son équilibre nutritionnel ou lappréciation esthétique que certaines populations recherchent dans la variété des nourritures. On peut en outre sinterroger sur le rôle de la diffusion des normes nouvelles de la culture mondialisée qui conduirait, en même temps quelle favorise la diffusion de nouveaux aliments, à une homogénéisation de la Babel alimentaire du bassin du lac Tchad.
