CRP on Dryland Cereals - DC

Overview: FP2-5.20 -  Methodologies combining classical breeding and molecular breeding tools are currently used to allow faster identification and promotion of germplasm (better adapted, highly productive and with enhanced quality) that would ensure steady development of varieties

FP2-5.2 - FP2-5.21

  Activity/Product Description
    
Heterotic pools/breeding populations established and improved for target ecologies. Steady development of varieties by faster identification and promotion of germplasm (for better adaptation, high productivity, enhanced quality, and enhanced pest/disease resistance) through the use of current methodologies that combine classical and molecular breeding tools. Germplasm carrying source of resistance to planned biotic stresses is identified, distributed and used in breeding programs for incorporation into already accepted varieties or in new varieties to come.
