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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. ...

Using canopy temperature depression to select for yield potential of wheat in heat stressed environments
(CIMMYT, 1997)
The main objective of the study was to validate the use of canopy temperature depression (CTD) as a rapid early generation screening tool for heat tolerance in wheat. CTD was measured at hot sites in Mexico on F2 derived ...

Breeding resistance to yellow (stripe) rust in wheat
(CIMMYT, 1997)
The information contained in this paper is a precis of the PhD thesis of Dr. H.P. Bimb. Since yellow (stripe) rust has recently reared its head in West and South Asia, the rapid publication of this Wheat Program Special ...

CIMMYT/NARS Consultancy on ME1 bread wheat breeding: 4-7 April, 1995 Cd. Obregon, Sonora, Mexico
(CIMMYT, 1995)
Through the mechanism of internally managed external reviews (IMERS), all activities of the Wheat Program were reviewed in the period 1990-1994. In general, this was a satisfactory exercise, except that we felt NARS input ...

Wheat breeders' perspectives on genetic diversity and germplasm use: findings from an international survey
(CIMMYT, 1996)
Although there is much debate about the role of scientific plant breeding in the possible reduction of genetic diversity in commercially grown crop plants, few studies have recorded breeders' actual use of materials and ...
Report
Management and use of international trial data for improving breeding efficiency
(CIMMYT, 1992)
The Germplasm Improvement Subprogram organized a workshop and think-tank on management and use of international trial data for increasing breeding efficiency at Ciudad Obregon, Mexico on January 21-22, 1992. Participants ...
