Wheat Production in CWANA

CAIGE meeting Adelaide March 11, 2011

• Spring Bread Wheat improvement targets all wheat growing areas in CWANA with focus on:

Semiarid Mediterranean Rainfed environments:(11 million hectares):

a) CWANA Continental Mediterranean Dryland: with relatively low winter temperatures e.g. West Asia (T. Hadya-Syria; Dyarbeker-Turkey); North Africa (Setif-Algeria)

b) CWANA Temperate Mediterranean Dryland: with relatively cool winter temperatures e.g. North Africa :(Settat - Morocco; Sidi Bel-Abbas – Algeria)

Favorable & irrigated (FA/IR) environments including low latitudes of CWANA: (13 million hectares) ):a) CWANA Continental Favorable Areas:with relatively low winter

temperatures e.g. North west Syriab) CWANA Temperate Favorable with relatively cool winter

temperatures e.g. Beja-Tunisia; Marchouch-Moroccoc) CWANA Low Latitudes with relatively warm winter

temperatures e.g. Southern-Egypt; Southern-Iran; Sudan

ICARDA Wheat Breeding Methodology in CWANA

Targeted Crossing Program that emphasizes broadening the genetic base and reducing genetic vulnerability

Multi-location testing to expose the germplasm to the prevailing Abiotic and Biotic stresses in the region.

Key Location Disease Nursery (KLDN)

(Aids the enhancement of genetic diversity)

Abiotic Constraints

Drought (**SYR; *MOR)

Heat Stress (**SUD; *EGY)

Biotic Constraints

Rusts: (**ETH, **KEN; **SYR, *LEB, *SUD, *YEM,)

Septoria: (**ETH; **MOR)

Hessian fly (**MOR)

** = Principal Site * = Secondary Site

CAIGE meeting Adelaide March 11, 2011

Drought Tolerance: Focus on stress adaptive traits

• Early ground cover

• Pre-anthesis biomass

• High tiller survival

• Stay-green

• Seed size

• Yield under stress

- Canopy Temperature at: Heading 7 Days after Anthesis14 Days after Anthesis

- NDVI at Grain Filling Period

Physiological Traits

- Ground Cover

Grain yield of SBLs against the recurrent parent (Cham-6)

KN = Thousand kernel weight, DH = days to heading, DM = days to maturity, GFP = Grain filling period, PH = Plant height, NDVI = normalized difference vegetation index

Relative Trait Performance of SBL compared to Cham-6 Averaged Across Three Sites
