& Regional Networks
Title: International
Germplasm
Testing Network
Objectives/Activities: Disseminates advanced
lines, parental lines and segregating populations of barley, durum wheat,
bread wheat, lentil, kabuli chickpea faba bean, vetches and chicklings developed

in developing adapted germplasm and provides a better understanding of GxE
interaction and of the agroecological characteristics of major production
areas.
