Translational research for climate resilient, higher yielding crops
(Hapres; State Key Laboratory of Hybrid Rice, 2019)
Article
Strategic crossing of biomass and harvest index—source and sink—achieves genetic gains in wheat
(Springer, 2017)
To accelerate genetic gains in breeding, physiological trait (PT) characterization of candidate parents can help make more strategic crosses, increasing the probability of accumulating favorable alleles compared to crossing ...

Conference Proceedings
International Symposium on Wheat Yield Potential: Challenges to International Wheat Breeding
(CIMMYT, 2008)
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 ...
Article
Improving global integration of crop research
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2017)
In recent decades, the scientific, development, and farm communities have contributed to substantial gains in crop productivity, including in many less developed countries (LDCs) (1), yet current yield trends and agri-food ...
