The CGIAR Research Program on Wheat’s (WHEAT) synthetic wheat breeding strategy, which successfully transfers valuable diversity from wild goat grass to modern wheat, is providing farmers with climate-resilient, pest and disease-resistant wheat.
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 CI...
