  • Impacts of International Wheat Improvement Research: 1994-2014
    (CIMMYT, 2016) Lantican, M.A.; Braun, H.J.; Payne, T.S.; Singh, R.G.; Sonder, K.; Baum, M.; Van Ginkel, M.; Erenstein, O.
    This study documents for 1994-2014 the global use of improved wheat germplasm and the economic benefits from international collaboration in wheat improvement research funded by CGIAR and involving national agricultural research systems, CGIAR organizations, and advanced research institutes. Conducted by the CGIAR Research Program on Wheat (WHEAT), this is the fourth in a series of global wheat impact assessments (Byerlee and Moya 1993; Heisey et al. 2002; Lantican et al. 2005) initiated by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT). It updates data and earlier analyses from the most recent, previous study, covering 1988-2002 (Lantican et al. 2005).

  • Evaluating fusarium graminearum resistance in bread wheats, synthetic wheats and their derivatives
    (CIMMYT, 1998) Gilchrist-Saavedra, L.; Mujeeb-Kazi, A.; Van Ginkel, M.; Velazquez, C.
    The number of sources of resistance to head blight caused by Fusarium graminearum Schw, is limited in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Most resistance sources come from China, Brazil, and Japan. However, they are for the most part tall, late-maturing wheat landraces that are low yielding, highly susceptible to leaf, stem, and stripe rusts, and in general have undesirable agronomic traits. Through a collaborative China/CIMMYT project, high yield potential and resistance to the thre9 rusts were incorporated into advanced wheat lines while maintaining their level of head blight resistance. Although effective in certain situations, this resistance needs to be improved. Moreover, it is necessary to broaden the genetic base of fusarium resistance by finding other sources of resistance. The CIMMYT Wheat Program has therefore been looking for other sources of effective head blight resistance. The wheat wide crosses unit nas been working to introgress resistance from wild grass species into wheat through the use of "synthetic" wheats (developed by crossing durum wheat with a wild relative) and their derivatives. As part of that effort, a study was conducted to evaluate the fusarium resistance of the best head blight resistant wheat lines and their different combinations with synthetics and synthetic derivatives.

  • Yield stability analysis of winter wheat genotypes targeted to semi-arid environments in the international winter wheat improvement program
    (Global Science Books, 2012) Sharma, R.; Morgounov, A.; Braun, H.J.; Akin, B.; Keser, M.; Kaya, Y.; Khalikulov, Z.I.; Van Ginkel, M.; Yahyaoui, A.; Rajaram, S.
    Improved winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars for semi-arid environments in Central and West Asia are needed to increase wheat productivity. This study was conducted to determine the performance of winter wheat genotypes for semi-arid environments, analyze their stability, and identify superior genotypes that could be valuable for winter wheat improvement or varietal release. One hundred thirty three advanced breeding lines and four check cultivars were tested over a 6-year period (2005-2010). Grain yield stability and agronomic traits were analyzed. Many genotypes produced higher grain yield and were more stable than one or more of the checks in each year. By and large, different genotypes showed superior performance under low and high productive environments, demonstrating their specific adaptability. However, 11 out of 30 highest yielding genotypes were common both under low and high productive environments. This shows that while in general different sets of genetic materials are needed under strictly semi-arid and irrigated environments, a few lines targeted towards stressed conditions possess yield plasticity resulting in superior performance both under dryland and irrigated conditions.

  • Grain yield and protein property of Chinese and CIMMYT hard spring wheats in four CIMMYT management environments
    (Institute of Crop Sciences, 2007) Yong Zhang; He Zhonghu; Wu Zhen-lu; Zhang Aimin; Van Ginkel, M.
    The effects of moisture stress, sowing date and planting method on grain yield and protein properties were evaluated using 21 hard spring wheat cultivars, which were grown in Obregon experiment station in CIMMYT across two seasons from 2000 to 2002 under four management environments. All traits investigated were significantly influenced by cultivar and management environment main effects, among which grain yield and SDS sedimentation value were also significantly influenced by cultivar and management interaction. Cultivar by management environment interactions should be accommodated in evaluation and selection of cultivars within the operation of breeding program for grain yield and quality improvement. It was helpful to elevate protein content and gluten strength when planted on bed, reduced irrigation and late sowing, while sown at normal time with full irrigation increased grain yield. Rayon F 89 performed high grain yield, protein content and SDS sedimentation value. Longmai 26 performed much higher grain yield, protein content and SDS sedimentation value than the other three photosensitive cultivars. Cultivars differed in response to irrigation, sowing date and planting method, which changed the rankings for grain yield and SDS sedimentation value. Full irrigation, sown on normal date, and planted on bed (FNB) treatment elevated grain yield for Rayon F 89, and SDS sedimentation value for Weaver. Full irrigation, sown on normal date, and planted on basin (FNF) treatment elevated grain yield for Seri M 82, and SDS sedimentation value for Attila. Full irrigation, sown one month later than normal date, and planted on bed (FLB) treatment increased grain yield for Longmai 26, and SDS sedimentation value for Super Seri#1, whereas reduced irrigation, sown on normal date, and planted on bed (RNB) treatment increased grain yield for Rayong F 89 and Xinchun 6, and SDS sedimentation value for Weaver. It is very important to take the effect of cultivar-by-environment interaction into consideration when improving wheat quality.

  • Genetic analysis of partial resistance to powdery mildew in bread wheat line Saar
    (American Phytopathological Society (APS), 2006) Lillemo, M.; Skinnes, H.; Singh, R.P.; Van Ginkel, M.
    Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis (syn. Erysiphe graminis) f. sp. tritici, is an important disease of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) in many countries. The CIMMYT bread wheat line Saar has exhibited a high level of partial resistance to powdery mildew in field trials conducted in Europe, Asia, and South America, and represents a valuable source of resistance in wheat breeding. A set of 114 random F5 inbred lines from the cross Saar × Avocet-YrA (susceptible) were evaluated in replicated field trials at two locations in southeastern Norway to determine the number of genes involved in partial resistance to powdery mildew. Narrow-sense heritability estimates were high (0.83 to 0.92). Based on both quantitative and qualitative genetic analyses, the minimum number of genes with additive effects segregating for powdery mildew resistance in the population was four. Transgressive segregation indicated that Avocet-YrA might have contributed one minor gene for resistance. It is concluded that partial resistance to powdery mildew in Saar is controlled by at least three genes. Such resistance conferred by multiple genes having additive effects is expected to be durable.

  • Semidwarf bread wheats: names, parentages, pedigrees, and origins
    (CIMMYT, 1997) Skovmand, B.; Villareal, R.L.; Van Ginkel, M.; Rajaram, S.; Ortiz-Ferrara, G.
    One of CIMMYT's primary functions is to produce germplasm for use by cooperating national crop improvement programs. In the development of wheat germplasm, emphasis is given to producing advanced materials that can be readily integrated into national wheat-breeding programs. Early generation segregating materials are also made available to cooperators. Each year, CIMMYT makes thousands of bread wheat crosses and generates hundreds of advanced lines. These materials are distributed annually to national programs by way of our international nursery system; nearly 50 nurseries consisting of advanced yield trials, screening nurseries and F2 segregating populations are distributed annually to over 200 cooperators around the world. National programs are free to use the germplasm in these nurseries in any way that best suits their needs. Options range from crossing with local varieties to placing entries directly into multiplication for eventual release as varieties. The reader should note that CIMMYT does not release or name varieties; that is the right and responsibility of cooperating national programs, and each national program has its own system for naming released cultivars. CIMMYT does name its advanced bread wheat breeding lines, and our system for differentiating among these lines currently utilizes the names of land birds only. At one time, however, the names of mountains, lakes, rivers, islands and certain phonetic combinations were used; some of these earlier names remain in use today. The CIMMYT/ICARDA program continues to use phonetic combinations or combinations of parental names. This revised bulletin contains a compilation of all semidwarf bread wheat cultivars and advanced lines produced by CIMMYT and by the Mexican National Institute of Agricultural Research (INIFAP); it also contains the names and pedigrees of cultivars with CIMMYT parentage that have been released since 1962 by cooperating national programs. Our purpose in publishing this bulletin is to facilitate the exchange of more exact information among wheat researchers working with these materials, and to assist them in their note taking and record-keeping activities.
