Theme
1. Crop Germplasm Enhancement
This theme includes six projects, each developed around a particular crop
or group of crops. The overall goal of the projects is to steadily increase
yield and stability through genetic improvement and water-use efficiency,
with special emphasis on less favored environments and low external-input
systems. The strategy is to produce cultivars with stable year-to-year yield
adapted to the environments in which they will be grown. The projects are
multidisciplinary, with research targeted to specific dry-area farming systems.
As such, they integrate genetic improvement with production systems, resource
management, and socioeconomic and policy considerations.
The following projects
are in operation under this theme:
Project 1.1. Barley
