Capstone publication of the first five years of collaboration through our USAID Feed the Future project. These results will speed up global efforts to breed more productive & climate-resilient varieties of bread wheat.

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) announced today the extension of two research partnerships, totaling $17 million, with Kansas State University that are helping to combat global hunger.

Kansas State University scientists, in collaboration with the International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium, published in the international journal Science a detailed description of the complete genome of bread wheat, the world's most widely-cultivated crop.

A new genetic directory launched today will enable researchers and breeders to scan the genomes of wild relatives of modern wheat to find disease-fighting properties lost to domestication.
