Climate adaptation and mitigation
Two approaches better than one: identifying spot blotch resistance in wheat varieties
Environmental health and biodiversity
Genomic selection is a promising tool to select for spot blotch resistance and index-based selection to select for spot blotch resistance, heading and plant height.
Diagram links physiological traits of wheat for yield potential
Innovations
Researchers build on existing source-and-sink model to map complex interaction of traits that determine wheat yield throughout its growth cycle, as a guide for breeding and future research.
CIMMYT scientists identify novel genomic regions associated with spot blotch resistance
Environmental health and biodiversity
Researchers use genome-wide association mapping approach to identify new regions with resistance to the disease.
Wheat versus heat
Climate adaptation and mitigation
Urgent action is required to mitigate effects of temperature extremes in South Asia, which threaten wheat production and human health.
In memory of Zhuang Qiaosheng
Capacity development
Wheat breeder and former CIMMYT Board of Trustees member Zhuang Qiaosheng passed away at the age of 105.
