- International Workshop of the Wheat Yield Consortium, 3. Proceedings; Cd. Obregon, Sonora, Mexico; 5-7 Mar 2013(CIMMYT, 2013) Reynolds, M.P.; Braun, H.J.The abstracts herein are of presentations by crop experts for the ”3rd International Workshop of the Wheat Yield Consortium”. Sponsored by SAGARPA’s international strategic component for increasing wheat performance, under the Sustainable Modernization of Traditional Agriculture Program (MasAgro); and GRDC, Australia. The event covers innovative methods to significantly raise wheat yield potential, including making photosynthesis more efficient, improving adaptation of flowering to diverse environments, addressing the physical processes involved in lodging, and physiological and molecular breeding. The workshop represents the current research of the International Wheat Yield Consortium that involves scientists working on all continents to strategically integrate research components in a common breeding platform, thereby speeding the delivery to farmers of new wheat genotypes.
Publication - Proceedings of the 1st International Workshop of the wheat yield consortium(CIMMYT, 2011) Reynolds, M.P.; Mullan, D.M.; Braun, H.J.The abstracts herein are of presentations by crop experts for the workshop ?Wheat Yield consortium: Sponsored by SAGARPA?s international strategic component for increasing wheat performance, under the Sustainable Modernization of Traditional Agriculture Program (MasAgro); BBSRC, UK; USAID, USA; and GRDC, Australia. The event covers innovative methods to significantly raise wheat yield potential, including making photosynthesis more efficient, improving adaptation of flowering to diverse environments, addressing the physical processes involved in lodging, and physiological and molecular breeding. The workshop represents the initial research of the International Wheat Yield Consortium that involves scientists working on all continents to strategically integrate research components in a common breeding platform, thereby speeding the delivery to farmers of new wheat genotypes.
Publication - International Symposium on Wheat Yield Potential: Challenges to International Wheat Breeding(CIMMYT, 2008) Reynolds, M.P.; Pietragalla, J.; Braun, H.J.Like many other patterns, investment in research is often cyclical. International centers like CIMMYT have focused substantial resources on biotic and abiotic stresses for about two decades now, but raising total productivity is also back on the development agenda. There are a number of reasons for this, among them sharp rises in the price of staple foods as well as the manifestation of detrimental effects of climate change on productivity. Those factors threaten not only the livelihoods of resource-poor people but food security at a broader level, as highlighted by the World Bank’s recent World Development Report. CIMMYT has an unsurpassed record when it comes to raising crop yields from the days of the Green Revolution; as can be seen from the comprehensive scope of this new publication, our Global Wheat Program is back in the game. The book consists of proceedings of a week-long consultation of experts and leaders held in 2006 and representing all major wheat producing countries worldwide. It encompasses their ideas on how, through internationally coordinated collaborative research, proven technologies of the past can be married with new tools and approaches to meet demand for the world’s number one staple crop: wheat.
