Morpho-physiological traits associated with cold stress tolerance in tropical maize (Zea mays L.)
(Consiglio per la Ricerca e la sperimentazione in Agricoltura, Unità di Ricerca per la Maiscoltura, 2010)
Winter season maize (Zea mays L.) has emerged a new crop in many parts of South and Southeast Asia, where the crop has to face low temperature regimes (<5°C) for few weeks during vegetative growth stage. The objective of ...

Breeding for enhanced zinc and iron concentration in CIMMYT spring wheat germplasm
(Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 2011)
Micronutrient malnutrition, resulting from dietary deficiency of important minerals such as zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe), is a widespread food-related health problem. Genetic enhancement of crops with elevated levels of these ...

Transferencia del gen Lr14a de trigos harineros a trigos cristalinos y expresion de la resistencia a roya de la hoja
(Sociedad Mexicana de Fitogenética, 2010)
El origen del gen de resistencia Lr14a a roya de la hoja causada por Puccinia triticina E. es el trigo tetraploide 'Yaroslav emmer' (Triticum dicoccum L.). En México, todas las razas de trigo harinero (T. aestivum) importantes ...

Identification and mapping of leaf, stem and stripe rust resistance quantitative trait loci and their interactions in durum wheat
(Springer Verlag, 2012)
Leaf rust (Puccinia triticina Eriks.), stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. tritici Eriks.) and stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) cause major production losses in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum). ...

Genetic analysis of water-logging tolerance in tropical maize (Zea Mays L.)
(Consiglio per la Ricerca e la sperimentazione in Agricoltura, Unità di Ricerca per la Maiscoltura, 2010)
Approximately 80% of maize (Zea mays L.) in South and Southeast Asia is grown as a rain-fed crop, where temporary excessive soil moisture or water-logging during the summer-rainy season is one of the major production ...
Article
Evaluation of CIMMYT germplasm for resistance to leaf spotting diseases of wheat
(Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 2011)
The leaf spotting disease complex is a major biotic constrain in enhancing grain production in the major wheat growing regions. Two leaf spotting diseases, tan spot, caused by an ascomycete fungus Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, ...
Article
Genomic prediction of genetic values for resistance to wheat rusts
(Crop Science Society of America, 2012)
Durable resistance to the rust diseases of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) can be achieved by developing lines that have race-nonspecific adult plant resistance conferred by multiple minor slow-rusting genes. Genomic selection ...
