Progress in breeding for resistance to Ug99 and other races of the stem rust fungus in CIMMYT wheat germplasm
(Higher Education Press, 2019)
Races belonging to the Ug99 (TTKSK) lineage of the wheat stem rust fungus, carrying complex virulence combinations, and their migration to countries in Africa, Middle East and Asia continue to pose a significant threat to ...

Genetic improvement of wheat grain quality at CIMMYT
(Higher Education Press, 2019)
The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) is the global leader in publiclyfunded maize and wheat research and in farming systems based on these crops. CIMMYT leads the Global Wheat Program (GWP), which ...

China-CIMMYT collaboration enhances wheat improvement in China
(Higher Education Press, 2019)
China and CIMMYT have collaborated on wheat improvement for over 40 years and significant progress has been achieved in five aspects in China. A standardized protocol for testing Chinese noodle quality has been established ...

High-throughput phenotyping enabled genetic dissection of crop lodging in wheat
(Frontiers, 2019)
Novel high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) approaches are needed to advance the understanding of genotype-to-phenotype and accelerate plant breeding. The first generation of HTP has examined simple spectral reflectance traits ...

Resistance to insect pests in wheat—rye and Aegilops speltoides Tausch translocation and substitution lines
(Springer, 2019)
Various insect pests attack wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that can cause significant grain yield losses to the crop. Farmers usually depend on pesticides, however, smallholder farmers often have limited and ill-timed access ...

A benchmarking between deep learning, support vector machine and bayesian threshold best linear unbiased prediction for predicting ordinal traits in plant breeding
(Genetics Society of America, 2019)
Genomic selection is revolutionizing plant breeding. However, still lacking are better statistical models for ordinal phenotypes to improve the accuracy of the selection of candidate genotypes. For this reason, in this ...

Genetic contribution of synthetic hexaploid wheat to CIMMYT’s spring bread wheat breeding germplasm
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)
Synthetic hexaploid (SH) wheat (AABBD’D’) is developed by artificially generating a fertile hybrid between tetraploid durum wheat (Triticum turgidum, AABB) and diploid wild goat grass (Aegilops tauschii, D’D’). Over three ...
