Abstract

Wheat varieties from South America have been used in many breeding programs, including CIMMYT’s Wheat Program. They have played a major role in widening the adaptation of new varieties and increasing their resistance and tolerance to diseases and environmental stresses. Nineteen years ago, when CIMMYT’s Southern Cone Program was started, it was considered useful to compile a list of wheat varieties released by national programs in the region. The purpose of the list was 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. The first booklet on wheat cultivars of the Southern Cone region was published in 1986. This 1997 edition has been expanded to include wheat cultivars from all over South America. During the compilation process, it was observed that information collected from different sources did not coincide. As a result, several draft lists were made up and corrected by various cooperators. Although information on many old varieties is still incomplete, an effort has been made to provide complete information on widely used and/or new varieties.
