Biofortification strategies to increase grain zinc and iron concentrations in wheat (2014, unknown): “This has been achieved largely by selecting for resistance to diseases, short plant height, and increased biomass and harvest index, among other essential traits (Ortiz et al., 2007; Trethowan et al., 2007).”
Genetic Gains for Grain Yield in CIMMYT Spring Bread Wheat across International Environments (2012, background): “To meet global demands, wheat production needs to increase to about 900 million t by the year 2020, with an average productivity of 4 t ha−1 (Ortiz et al., 2007).”
Phenotypic plasticity of yield and phenology in wheat, sunflower and grapevine (2009, background): “1) that low plasticity (or high stability) is not necessarily a desirable trait of general value (Crossa et al., 1991; Luquez et al., 2002; Ortiz et al., 2007).”
Wheat genetic resources enhancement by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) (2008, methodology): “…breeding, the period from 1951 to date can be divided into well defined improvement eras tracing from the efforts of Borlaug and his colleagues (Ortiz et al. 2007a), which began in the early 1940s, continuing with the efforts of CIMMYT efforts until today and include: • 1951–1962—introduction…”
Genome-wide comparative diversity uncovers multiple targets of selection for improvement in hexaploid wheat landraces and cultivars (2013, background): “Although the introgression of favorable traits from wild relatives has been proposed as a potential path to wheat improvement (41), the rarity of exclusive alleles suggests that these efforts to date have not notably altered the genetic composition of elite cultivars.”
