  • Milling, baking, and grain factors influencing the quality of tandyr bread (Nan) in Central Asia report on a study conducted in four countries of Central Asia
    (CIMMYT, 2002) Peña, Roberto; Meng, E.; Abugaliyeva, A.I.; Atli, A.; Massalimov, A.; Morgounov, A.
    During the time of the Soviet Union, the inhabitants of the Central Asian Republics consumed mainly dense, pan-type bread that was mass-produced in large baking plants. However, after CA countries achieved independence, the production of tandyr bread (baked on the walls of concave, clay ovens) rapidly regained popularity throughout the region, to become the main bread type that is consumed today in small cities, and the only type consumed in small villages of the rural areas. Tandyr bread making requires certain grain quality attributes, which seem to be inferior in the winter wheat varieties currently cultivated in CA. Wheat quality for tandyr bread making is not well defined, and therefore it is necessary to determine which wheat quality factors need to be improved through breeding. This document reports on findings obtained from a survey of the milling and baking industries throughout four countries of Central Asia.

  • Wheat and wheat breeding in the former USSR
    (CIMMYT, 1992) Morgounov, A.
    The USSR is one of the main wheat-producing countries in the world. It has a longestablished wheat breeding network involving institutes and stations nationwide. Soviet scientists have contributed to modern varieties and germplasm as well as to scientific knowledge about wheat genetics, physiology, and breeding. Up to now information for English-speaking audiences about wheat and wheat breeding in the USSR has been very limited. The objective of this review by A.I. Morgunov, associate scientist in the CIMMYT Wheat Program, is to present the current status of wheat breeding in the region. He concentrates on breeding objectives and methods and the organization of the breeding system itself. Although we realize that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) no longer exists, the name is used for simplicity and because the events described refer to a period before the breakup of the Soviet Union. Due to the lack of literature, this special report often refers to a book published in the USSR, Wheats of the World (Dorofeev et al. 1987), which gives a very comprehensive description of wheat breeding in the country.
