Genetic Gains for Grain Yield in CIMMYT Spring Bread Wheat across International Environments (2012, background): “In addition, outstanding CIMMYT-derived bread wheat lines have been widely used in crossing programs across the developing world (Braun et al., 1996) and have greatly enriched the genetic diversity of wheat cultivars in many countries (Smale et al.”

Screening techniques and sources of resistance to abiotic stresses in cool-season food legumes (2006, unknown): “Broad abiotic stress resistance can be successfully combined with high yield potential, as shown by CIMMYT’s approach to wheat breeding (Braun et al., 1996) and is a target in the grain legumes (e.g., faba bean, Link et al., 1996).”
High yield potential, shuttle breeding, genetic diversity, and a new international wheat improvement strategy (2007, background): “Today the aim of international wheat breeding remains to breed ‘‘widely adapted germplasm with high and stable yields across wide range of environments’’ (Braun et al. 1996).”

Evaluation of grain yield and its components in wheat cultivars and landraces under near optimal and drought conditions (2000, background): “These cultivars had below average yields under near optimum but high yields under drought stress conditions (Table 3) confirming that CIMMYT germplasm, in general, has high adaptability value for dry areas (Fischer, 1993; Braun et al., 1996).”
