Report
Wheat, barley, and triticale cultivars: a list of publications in which national cereal breeders have noted the cooperation or germplasm they received from CIMMYT
(CIMMYT, 1997)
Sustainable cereal production on farmers' fields: that is the ultimate measure of the impact of CIMMYT's research. Its achievement requires a combination of effective technologies and the most appropriate seeds. Over the ...
Handbook
Guide to plant and crop sampling: measurements and observations for agronomic and physiological research in small grain cereals
(CIMMYT, 1994)
This wheat special report is a guide that outlines the procedures used for measuring many components of the crop in small grains research. The actual observations taken, however, will depend on the objectives of the work ...
Report
Genetic diversity for photosynthesis in wheat under heat-stressed environments and its relationship to productivity
(CIMMYT, 1994)
Genetic variation in photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, leaf chlorophyll content, and dark respiration was studied in 16 wheat genotypes (Triticum aestivum L.) grown under high-temperature field conditions in central ...
Book
Ensuring the use of sustainable crop management strategies by small wheat farmers in the 21st century
(CIMMYT, 1998)
Virtually all current strategies to implement modern, sustainable crop management production practices involve conservation/zero tillage prior to seeding, some form of crop residue retention and management, fertilizer ...
Book
Bread wheat, durum wheat, and synthetic hexaploid wheat in saline and non-saline soils
(CIMMYT, 1999)
Genetic improvement of crops for salt tolerance will become ever more important as it becomes necessary to cultivate marginal soils. The work reported here evaluated the intra- and interspecific variability in yield response ...
Conference Proceedings
Wheat breeding at CIMMYT: commemorating 50 years of research in Mexico for global wheat improvement
(CIMMYT, 1995)
This year, we celebrate the 50th anniversary (1944-94) of wheat breeding at CIMMYT and its predecessor organization (Rockefeller Foundation/Office of Special Studies). Within a span of 50 years, wheat breeding has evolved ...
Report
Photosynthetic characteristics of synthetic bread wheats
(CIMMYT, 1994)
In the process of genetic improvement of bread wheat, photosynthetic rate per unit leaf area has decreased significantly from the maximum photosynthetic rate (Pmax) of the crop's diploid ancestors (donors of the A, B, and ...
Report
Research on barley yellow dwarf: state of the art of the CIMMYT program and its future research focus
(CIMMYT, 1994)
This Wheat Special Report is motivated by changes in leadership and funding of CIMMYT's research on barley yellow dwarf viruses (BYD viruses). In 1991, P.A. Burnett, who headed the section in the 1980s, left CIMMYT. R. ...
Report
Epidemiology of Karnal bunt of wheat incited by neovossia indica and an attempt to develop a disease prediction system
(CIMMYT, 1991)
Karnal bunt, is a disease of the wheat grain caused by a fungus and is said to have evolved in South Asia. It has come under concern in both India and Mexico over the last few years. In the present treatise, an attempt has ...
Book
Fusarium head scab of wheat (Fusarium graminearum Schwabe)
(CIMMYT, 1994)
Scab or head blight of wheat, caused by the fungus Fusarium graminearum Schwabe, was first described in 1891 by Arthur in the United States (2); it was later reported in Japan in 1902. In Mexico the disease was detected ...
