| dcterms.description | The highly protein-rich varieties of maize are gaining a new footing in the developing countries of Latin America, the Caribbean Islands, West Africa and Asia. In fact, the research conducted by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT) has succeeded in obtaining new varieties which are not only rich in protein but preserve specific traditional features as well. Foremost among them is the heavier grain which led to an increase in yield. Resistance to diseases has been obtained both by developing more robust grain types and by reducing negative genetic factors. CIMMYT Apartado Postal 6641 06600 Mexico D.F. Mexico | en |
