Lines tested in the International Spring Wheat Yield Nurseries (ISWYN) 1964-1994
(CIMMYT, 1996)
This publication marks the end of an era; after 30 years, the International Spring Wheat Yield Nursery (ISWYN), flagship of the international yield nurseries, has been discontinued. The ISWYN will be replaced by several ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
