22,000+ plants from first cycle of International Winter Wheat Improvement Program (IWWIP) winter wheat speed breeding harvested in Turkey by Beyhan_akin & her team #VirtualWheatTour. Accelerating breeding progress #cgiarwheat CIMMYT ICARDA @TAGEM_ANKARA

Loving the new Women in Plant Breeding group. Thanks Modesta Abugu for highlighting we're all in this together! Adding some more inspiring women in plant breeding: Lucy Slatter Gabriella Everett Achla Sharma Beyhan_akin Carolina Rivera-Amado Gemma Molero Katherine Frels Tress

Científicos de la Universidad Austral de Chile buscan potenciar rendimiento y calidad del trigo con #biotecnología 🍞 🇨🇱chilebio.cl/2021/04/13/cie… | Anteriormente desarrollaron un trigo genéticamente modificado que logró un aumento de 12% del tamaño de los granos sin reducir el número de estos.

We're hiring! Come & join the CIMMYT Global Wheat Program as a molecular pre-breeder. Exciting opportunity to apply genetic & genomic tools to accelerate the development of resilient wheat to meet future production challenges. Please help spread the word: cimmyt.org/careers/jobs/p…

Alleles at recently identified loci TaTOE-B1 and TaFT3-B1 promoted higher YLD and HI in two elite spring wheat panels. The favorable allele at TaTOE-B1 showed positive effects on several sink traits (GN) and favorable alleles at TaFT3-B1 a positive effect on GW related traits.

¿Trigo con o sin aristas? Agrotecnio Research Centre-@ETSEA_UdL-CIMMYT describieron la evolución y domesticación de éstas en la espiga del trigo, desde que empezó su cultivo hace 12.000 años. Lean más sobre la utilidad de este trabajo en el marco del cambio climático. tinyurl.com/5n97zz9s

#ReadNow the results of a new study that analyzes the evolution of wheat spikes since its cultivation first began in ancient Mesopotamia, the cradle of agriculture in the world. Thanks Agrotecnio Research Centre, @ETSEA_UdL & CIMMYT for this amazing work. tinyurl.com/mtmprc52

Three field approaches to study wheat responses to heat stress CIMMYT HeDWIC Hub: 1) simulating heat waves (amb temp >4 °C/5d), 2) increasing night temp at key GS with ceramic plates and 3) late sowing 🌾🥵Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR) @FcoPintoE Carlos Robles @ErikMurchie Enrico A.
