Private and public sector consensus on priority, pre-competitive wheat research issues

Public and private sector scientists identified key translational research areas with a high probability of boosting productivity in wheat and other crops that could be researched in ‘precompetitive’ space

Two high-BNI (biological nitrification inhibition) elite lines available for next users

CIMMYT and JIRCAS demonstrated feasibility of enhancing BNI capacity in elite wheats by transferring a chromosome arm 3NsbS controlling BNI traits from wild grass as a wheat L. racemosus translocation chromosome (T3BL.3NsbS). Enhanced BNI release from root systems of T3BL.3NsbS resulted in suppression of soil nitrifier activity
