N1  - Summary only
N2  - Shuttle breeding uses diverse ecological environments to develop improved varieties with higher adaptability. Alternate generations of early breeding materials are grown under different environments. The basis of shuttle breeding is cooperative research among nations and institutions. The benefit is increased breeding efficiDEy. Currently the shuttle breeding approach is being used to develop improved varieties of wheat-maize, and rice. In 1974, the International Center for Maize and Wheat Improvement (CIMMYT) and the Government of Brazil began shuttle breeding to develop wheat varieties tolerance of aluminum toxicity. In 1982, CIMMYT and China
