SSR and pedigree analyses of genetic diversity among CIMMYT wheat lines targeted to different megaenvironments (2004, unknown): “9:1–11.variable seasons (Trethowan et al., 2002).”
Novel genetic diversity from synthetic wheats in breeding cultivars for changing production conditions (2007, background): “In many rainfed environments annual production per ha increased a surprising 1–3% (Trethowan et al., 2002), in part as a result of the adoption”
Adapting wheat cultivars to resource conserving farming practices and human nutritional needs (2005, background): “The genetic improvement of wheat productivity under dry conditions has been signifi cant ( Trethowan et al., 2002; Heisey et al., 2002).”
Wheat genetic resources enhancement by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) (2008, background): “Not surprisingly, re-synthesized wheat lines have also been a source of variation for drought and heat tolerance (Trethowan et al. 2002).”
Drought tolerance improvement in crop plants: An integrated view from breeding to genomics (2008, background): “An example is the success of wheat and rice varieties bred at CIMMYT and IRRI where selection under stress-free environments identified genotypes with high yield in a wide range of conditions including regions with a low yield potential (Trethowan et al., 2002).”
Impacts of breeding on international collaborative wheat improvement (2006, background): “The study of Trethowan et al. (2002) compared the gains of two nurseries : the Elite Spring Wheat Yield Trial (ESWYT) targeted for irrigated regions and the Semiarid Wheat Yield Trial (SAWYT) targeted for semi-arid regions.”
Genetic Gains in Wheat Breeding and Its Role in Feeding the World (2019, background): “[104] to estimate the rate of breeding progress.”
Evaluation of drought tolerance in bread wheat genotypes under dryland and supplemental irrigation conditions. (2011, unknown): “Wheat breeders have made significant improvements in adaptation of wheat to stress-prone environments (Trethowan et al., 2002 and Lantican et al., 2003).”
QTL associated with heat susceptibility index in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under short-term reproductive stage heat stress (2010, background): “50 years, wheat production has increased at the rate of nearly 1% per annum ( Trethowan et al. 2002 ) and tolerance to high temperature stress has been identified as an important factor contributing to these increased yields (Assad and Paulsen 2002).”
High yield potential, shuttle breeding, genetic diversity, and a new international wheat improvement strategy (2007, background): “Genetic gains in grain yield of spring wheat have increased as shown by results from Ciudad Obregón (Sayre et al. 1997) and CIMMYT’s international trial network (Trethowan et al. 2002).”
Impacts of International Wheat Breeding Research in the Developing World, 1988-2002 (2005, background): “…of many different cultivars in environmentally diverse locations, CIMMYT breeders have been able to defi ne zones of adaptation and identify key testing sites (Braun et al. 1992; Abdalla et al. 1996; Trethowan et al. 2001; Braun et al. 2002; Trethowan et al. 2002; Trethowan et al. 2003).”
