Based on 25 case studies from the global comparative study ‘GENNOVATE: Enabling gender equality in agricultural and environmental innovation’, this paper explores rural young women’s and men’s occupational aspirations and ...
International Winter Wheat Improvement Program: serving global breeding community
International Winter Wheat Improvement Program (www.iwwip.org) was established in 1986 as a cooperative project between the Government of Turkey and CIMMYT. The main objective was development of winter and facultative wheat ...
Optimizing Winter Wheat Resilience to Climate Change in Rain Fed Crop Systems of Turkey and Iran
Erratic weather patterns associated with increased temperatures and decreasing rainfall pose unique challenges for wheat breeders playing a key part in the fight to ensure global food security. Within rain fed winter wheat ...
Proline content as a stress indicator to quantify conservation agriculture effect in wheat crop
The field study was conducted to evaluate the effect of tillage, crop residue retention and crop rotationon proline concentration in flag leaves of wheat as an important factor influencing future grain quality and yield ...
Increasing profitability, yields and yield stability through sustainable crop establishment practices in the rice-wheat systems of Nepal
The rice-wheat rotation is the dominant cropping pattern in the Terai ‘food basket’ of Nepal. Current production practices require significant labor, water, and energy which erode profitability and, hence, incentives for ...
Detection of Wheat Stem Rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) Race TTKSK (Ug99) in Iran
In 2007, new reports of stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. in Lorestan and Hamadan provinces of Iran were considered unusual because stem rust had not been recorded previously in the Hamadan ...
Dietary change in Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and North Africa: historical changes and future food consumption perspectives
The objective of this brief is to provide an outlook on historical dietary changes and future trends of diets by 2050 in selected Asian, SSA, and MENA countries. The study further focuses on the anticipated importance of ...
Impact of tillage and crop establishment methods on crop yields, profitability and soil physical properties in rice–wheat system of Indo‐Gangetic Plains of India
Conservation agriculture (CA) based on best‐bet crop management practices may increase crop and water productivity, as well as conserve and sustain soil health and natural resources. In a 2‐year study, we assessed the ...
Comparison of Genomic Prediction Methods for Yellow, Stem, and Leaf Rust Resistance in Wheat Landraces from Afghanistan
Wheat rust diseases, including yellow rust (Yr; also known as stripe rust) caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici, leaf rust (Lr) caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks. and stem rust (Sr) caused by Puccinia ...
High-yielding winter synthetic hexaploid wheats resistant to multiple diseases and pests
Development of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) synthetics started at CIMMYT-Mexico in 2004, when winter durum wheat (Triticum turgidum) germplasm from Ukraine and Romania was crossed with Aegilops tauschii accessions from ...
