520			_aICARDA, in cooperation with CIMMYT, has been producing barley with enhanced resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) in its Mexico-based program since the early 1980s. ICARDA’s germplasm bank in Syria offers a diverse reservoir of genes that can be explored as possible new sources of resistance for this devastating disease. The crop’s wild relatives represent even richer reservoirs of genes for stress tolerance and adaptation, as their history in the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region is very long and includes periods with very harsh climate in the Pleistocene Era. The ICARDA/CIMMYT barley breeding program started research on FHB resistance in response to the needs of the Andes countries. In 1986, a total of 5,000 barley accessions were screened in Mexico; of these, 23 were found with some level of resistance, and were subsequently intensively introgressed into the main program. Resistance sources were shared with programs worldwide, especially after the FHB outbreaks of the 1990s. Collaboration and cooperative efforts with advanced research institutions, such as the US Wheat and Barley Scab Initiative (USWBSI), allow the project to make germplasm sources with enhanced levels of resistance widely available. Environmental conditions at CIMMYT’s Toluca Experiment Station in Mexico in earlier years and at El Batán since 2006 are ideal for FHB development and evaluation. In addition, the project obtains data through collaboration with programs in the USA, Canada, China, Ecuador, Brazil and Uruguay. A recent initiative to comprehensively screen ICARDA’s gene bank for unique and undiscovered sources of resistance has identified some potentially promising barley sources.
