Haplotyping the history of CIMMYT International Nurseries in wheat - 2009 - p. 36
Abstract only
International nurseries are specialized experimental plots for advanced breeding lines and are coordinated by international agricultural research centers within the Consultative Group of International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). Distributed and grown by many national research programs and participants worldwide the international nurseries serve as springboards for the development of new crop varieties. They have become indispensable for the research centers to screen their elite breeding material for wide adaptability as well as for resistance to specific disease pressure. At the International Center for Maize and Wheat Improvement (CIMMYT) international nurseries have a considerable history, the first nursery being distributed in 1960s. Today 40 different nurseries are prepared every year and received by approximately 120 countries.|While the nurseries describe the phenotype of CIMMYT wheat germplasm across many different environments in the world, the genotype of the germplasm has not been characterized yet. CIMMYT international nurseries are currently described with genome wide scans and diagnostic DNA markers for various traits. Results will be presented.
