  Flagship Products    

CIMMYT’s research agenda is focused on developing and delivering with our partners a set of flagship products that will have impact in communities that depend on maize- or wheat-based farming systems for their livelihoods. Nearly all represent genetically enhanced, seed-embedded technologies. That is the seed itself carries the bulk of the technology. They are being developed by multidisciplinary teams charged with the generation of products reflecting integrated solutions for our target beneficiaries. There are nine products in the portfolio.

  New or improved traits through allele mining and gene discovery to best use global crop biodiversity
  Improved tools and methodologies for genetic improvement
  Stress tolerant maize for enhanced food security and crop diversification
  Bio-fortified maize for improved nutrition and health
  Opportunities for income generation from special trait maize
  Wheat with enhanced water productivity and appropriate quality profiles
  Rust resistant wheat
  Resource conservation technologies for maize and wheat cropping systems
  Capacity building in national agricultural research system breeding programs
