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 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 ...

Epidemiology of Karnal bunt of wheat incited by neovossia indica and an attempt to develop a disease prediction system
(CIMMYT, 1991)
Karnal bunt, is a disease of the wheat grain caused by a fungus and is said to have evolved in South Asia. It has come under concern in both India and Mexico over the last few years. In the present treatise, an attempt has ...

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 ...

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 ...
Report
Evaluation of membrane thermostability and canopy temperature depression as screening traits for heat tolerance in wheat
(CIMMYT, 1993)
The production of wheat germplasm with resistance to high temperature increases in importance with world wheat demand. Temperatures considered above optimal for wheat growth and development of presently grown varieties are ...

Guide to the CIMMYT Wheat Crop Protection Subprogram
(CIMMYT, 1994)
This wheat special report provides an introduction to the CIMMYT Wheat Program's Crop Protection Subprogram. It is designed to help acquaint donors, visiting scientists, and other interested persons with the Subprogram's ...

Adaptation of wheat to the canopy environment: physiological evidence that selection for vigor or random selection may reduce the frequency of high-yielding genotypes
(CIMMYT, 1993)
Increasing the potential yield of wheat is a major thrust of CIMMYT's Wheat Program. Farmer's wheat yields are linearly related to the yield potential of new varieties. At the same time, breeders should ideally be able to ...

Assessment and development of an agricultural research station: physical and personnel needs
(CIMMYT, 1994)
The agricultural research station plays a vital role in the generation of both new knowledge and appropriate technologies for farmers. However, despite the importance and complexity of running research stations, there is ...
