the objectives of this project are to develop wheat germplasm with the attributes for irrigation in Central and west Asia and North Africa (including high yield potential, heat tolerance, good grain quality and resistance to diseases and insect pests), and to make the germplasm freely available, in the form of international nurseries, to national wheat breeding programs
I read a bout your research here:
http://www.seedtoday.com/info/ST_articles.html?ID=123808
and am very interested in utilizing the seed varieties developed and practices implemented during this research.
Is the seed available for farmers to purchase? And are the practices used available in booklet form on-line or in print?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
