The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Physiological interventions in breeding for adaptation to abiotic stress (2007, background): “While landraces have been used for some time in breeding barley for adaptation to abiotic stresses (Ceccarelli et al. 2001), their use in bread-wheat breeding is less common.”
A methodological study on participatory barley breeding II. Response to selection (2003, background): “Eventually, the experiments conducted in 1998 confirmed the ability of farmers to handle a large number of lines, also observed in other countries (Ceccarelli et al., 2001), and their interest in selection, as indicated by the increased number of farmers participating in the selection program.”
Decentralized selection and participatory approaches in plant breeding for low-input systems (2008, background): “Further work is still needed to improve the precision of on-farm trials in highly variable environments (Ceccarelli et al. 2001).”
Organic versus Conventional Cropping Sustainability: A Comparative System Analysis (2018, background): “Comparing breeder and farmer selections of barley in Syria, Ceccarelli et al. [135] determined that there was little similarity between the two groups, a reﬂection of the different criteria used during selection.”
