This dataset include data from a national wheat survey in Ehiopia in 2016 during the main season for a DNA fingerprinting study. The data contain wheat varieties genotyped using DNA fingerprinting (DNA FP), farmers recall survey and matching of DNA FP with farmers recall.

On-farm trials were conducted from 2016 to 2018 in four districts of Odisha (Mayurbhanj, Cuttack, Bhadrak, and Puri to evaluate the potential of dry-direct seeding of rice (DSR) in combination with integrated weed management (IWM) to reduce the yield gap and increase the income of rice farmers in Odisha where traditional practice of beushening has been...

Gene-based marker data from international screening nurseries for marker-assisted selection.

The historic crossing block (HCB) is a collection of all the parents of spring wheat pre-breeding crossing block that include landraces, synthetics, synthetic derivatives, elite lines, high biomass lines, lines with rust resistance, and some varieties. Every year, to incorporate novel alleles into elite back grounds several strategic crosses-source× sink,...

The objective of the Landscape Diagnostic Survey (LDS) for wheat is to bridge the existing data-gap around current production practices of wheat, and also to help in evidence-based planning. The LDS is designed in a way that data is collected from randomly selected farmers spread uniformly within a KVK (government extension system) domain/district. Data...

Conservation agriculture (CA) is based on minimal tillage, permanent soil cover and crop diversification. The data in this study were collected in a field trial network established to adapt CA to Mexico’s diverse cropping systems and local conditions. Soil health was studied in 20 trials with maize (Zea mays L.) in acro-ecologies ranging from handplanted...

Genetic architecture of grain yield (GY) has been extensively investigated in wheat using genome wide association study (GWAS) approach. However, most studies have used small panel sizes in combination with large genotypic data, typical examples of the so-called ‘large p small n’ or ‘short-fat data’ problem. Further, use of bi-allelic SNPs accentuated...

Conducted genome-wide association scan (GWAS) and explored the possibility of applying genomic prediction (GP) for Anther Extrusion (AE) in the CIMMYT hybrid wheat breeding program

CIMMYT and its network of collaborators in Mexico, conducted a series of experiments across agroecological zones of Mexico in 2017 and 2018 to evaluate the effect of different storage technologies on postharvest losses of maize. Experiments were conducted under “controlled” (i.e., managed by researchers) and “non-controlled” conditions (i.e., on-farm...

The Stem Rust Resistance Screening Nursery (STEMRRSN) is a single replicate nursery that contains diverse spring bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) germplasm adapted to all mega-environments with total 50-100 entries and white/red grain color.

The genotypic data included in this dataset were generated using DArTseq by the SAGA genotyping laboratory in Mexico. The dataset contains 8,154 SNPs on candidate varieties from Kazakhstan and those released by CIMMYT-ICARDA-IWWIP program. These were evaluated for tan spot resistance at Kazakhstan.

Agronomic systems based on zero tillage and residue retention are becoming more important due to their potential for climate change adaptation through the reduction of soil erosion and improved water availability. Genotype by tillage interactions for yield are not well understood and it is unknown whether tillage should be an evaluation factor in breeding...

CIMMYT’s durum wheat breeding program performed parallel selection in conventional tilled (CT) and zero tillage (ZT) soils with the aim to compare the effect of selection under either CT or ZT on the performance of selected progenies. From 16 initial crosses, 234 lines were selected under CT and 250 under ZT. All 484 lines were subsequently tested for...
