An Integrated Approach to Identify and Characterize Climate Resilient Wheat for the West Asia and North Africa Region
Start date
21 Jun 2016 End date
20 Dec 2019 This study will seek to strength a long-lasting partnership between ICARDA and NARS in targeted countries.
The overall objective is to identify and characterize climate resilient wheat germplasm that can be used to develop high yielding varieties with improved adaptation to the drought and stress conditions prevalent in the WANA region.
By trainings and workshops, the project will improve the capacity of the local research organizations to use modern genomic tools and techniques.
