China/CIMMYT Collaboration on wheat breeding and germplasm exchange: results of 10 years of shuttle breeding (1984-1994)
(CIMMYT, 1997)
Maintaining a fruitful working relationship with a country such as China is indispensible for CIMMYT, whose mandate is to improve the productivity and sustainability of wheat and maize production systems all over the ...
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 ...
Book
A history of wheat breeding in China
(CIMMYT, 2001)
China is the largest producer and consumer of wheat in the world. Wheats cultivated in China include winter and facultative wheats and spring wheats sown in both autumn and spring, mostly in rotation with other crops such ...
Book
Breeding for resistance to Fusarium head blight of wheat in the mid- to lower Yangtze River Valley of China
(CIMMYT, 1994)
Fusarium head blight (FHB) of wheat or scab is an important fungal disease in many areas of the world, especially where humid moist conditions prevail from heading to maturity. It is a particularly troublesome disease in ...
Article
Quantitative trait loci mapping for adult-plant resistance to powdery mildew in Chinese wheat cultivar Bainong 64
(American Phytopathological Society (APS), 2009)
Adult-plant resistance (APR) is an effective means of controlling powdery mildew in wheat. In the present study, 406 simple-sequence repeat markers were used to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for APR to powdery mildew ...
Article
Identification of genomic regions controlling adult-plant stripe rust resistance in Chinese Landrace Pingyuan 50 through bulked segregant analysis
(American Phytopathological Society (APS), 2010)
Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is one of the most widespread and destructive wheat diseases worldwide. Growing resistant cultivars with adult-plant resistance (APR) is an effective approach for ...
Article
Seedling and slow rusting resistance to leaf rust in Chinese wheat cultivars
(American Phytopathological Society (APS), 2010)
Identification of resistance genes is important for developing leaf rust resistant wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivars. A total of 102 Chinese winter wheat cultivars and advanced lines were inoculated with 24 pathotypes ...
Article
Wheat strip rust epidemic and virulence of Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici in China in 2002
(American Phytopathological Society (APS), 2004)
In China, wheat stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is one of the most destructive diseases of wheat and can cause severe yield losses when susceptible cultivars are grown and weather conditions are ...
Article
Seedling and adult plant resistance to powdery mildew in Chinese bread wheat cultivars and lines
(American Phytopathological Society (APS), 2005)
Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, is a widespread wheat disease in China. Identification of race-specific genes and adult plant resistance (APR) is of major importance in breeding for an efficient ...
Article
Effective resistance to wheat stripe rust in a region with high disease pressure
(American Phytopathological Society (APS), 2014)
Stripe rust is a major fungal disease of wheat. It frequently becomes epidemic in southeastern Gansu province, a stripe rust hot spot in China. Evaluations of wheat germplasm response are crucial for developing cultivars ...
