| dcterms.abstract | The breeding practice of using "synthetic hexaploid wheat" to incorporate genetic diversity from wild wheat relatives into modern varieties benefits the world's farmers through climate resilient and pest-resistant wheat. A 2019 study validated this practice, finding that 20% of the wheat lines in CIMMYT?s global spring bread wheat breeding program contain an average of 15% of the genome segments from the wild wheat relative Aegilops tauschii. | en |
