Biofortification strategies to increase grain zinc and iron concentrations in wheat (2014, background): “Past evidence has shown that grain Zn and Fe are quantitatively inherited traits in wheat (Trethowan et al., 2005; Trethowan, 2007).”
Use of synthetic hexaploid wheat to increase diversity for CIMMYT bread wheat improvement (2008, background): “They have also shown improved yield performance under drought stress conditions (Trethowan et al. 2005), new and significant variation for maximum photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, and generally have cooler canopies (Del Blanco et al.”
Impacts of breeding on international collaborative wheat improvement (2006, background): “Another example is the introgression of long coleoptiles into bread wheat (Trethowan et al. 2005).”
Wheat improvement in India: present status, emerging challenges and future prospects (2007, background): “Genetic improvement has already contributed significantly to improvements in yield stability and productivity, and in many instances, realizing the benefits of improved farming practices is dependent upon the availability of suitable or responsive cultivars (Trethowan et al. 2005).”
Physiological traits and cereal germplasm for sustainable agricultural systems (2007, background): “Trethowan et al. (2005) point out that studies contrasting grain yield under tillage systems are scarce and that the cultivars tested were developed using conventional tillage practices.”
Bringing wild relatives back into the family: recovering genetic diversity in CIMMYT improved wheat germplasm (2006, background): “CIMMYT’s synthetics introduced new variation for morphological and agronomic traits, (Villareal et al., 1994a, b); resistance to biotic stresses (Kema et al., 1995, Lage et al., 2002, 2004; Ma et al., 1995; Mujeeb-Kazi et al., 2001; Cox, 1998) and abiotic stresses (Rajaram & van Ginkel, 2001; Treth”
High yield potential, shuttle breeding, genetic diversity, and a new international wheat improvement strategy (2007, background): “Hence, improved adaptation to zero and minimum tillage, better water-use efficiency, improved root health, durable resistance to foliar diseases, and enhanced nutritional value of the grain are key selection criteria for today’s wheat breeders (Trethowan et al. 2005).”
Identification of microsatellite markers linked with yield components under drought stress at terminal growth stages in durum wheat (2010, background): “Cereal production and its sustainability are largely influenced by environmental stresses, such as drought (Trethowan et al. 2005), causing reduced crop yields.”
Genetic Gains for Grain Yield in CIMMYT Spring Bread Wheat across International Environments (2012, background): “, 2005) and to diff erent conservation agricultural practices (Trethowan et al., 2005).”
Evaluation of drought tolerance in bread wheat genotypes under dryland and supplemental irrigation conditions. (2011, unknown): “The potential for increasing drought adaptation has been realized (Trethowan et al., 2003, 2005) although there is already evidence for impact in drier regions worldwide, based on data from recent international drought trials (Trethowan and Reynolds, 2007).”
Novel genetic diversity from synthetic wheats in breeding cultivars for changing production conditions (2007, background): “While both genetic and agronomic progress in increasing yield and adaptation have been very successful, studies on synergistic interactions between modern varieties and modern production methods remain rare (Trethowan et al., 2005) with other opportunities for improvement lost.”
Physiological interventions in breeding for adaptation to abiotic stress (2007, background): “More recently, wide crossing has been applied to increase yield under drought (Trethowan et al. 2003; 2005) and there is already evidence for impact in drier regions worldwide based on data from recent international drought trials (Trethowan and Reynolds 2006).”
Marker-assisted selection: an approach for precision plant breeding in the twenty-first century (2008, background): “These traits include durable disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance and nutrientand water-use efficiency (Mackill et al. 1999; Slafer et al. 2005; Trethowan et al. 2005).”
