Women in Crop Science commemorate Internacional Women’s Day at CIMMYT Obregon station! #8M2023

Fantastic to have the CIMMYT Global Wheat Program team from around the world together in Mexico this week for #CIMMYT Science & Innovation Week. Next week we’ll be in Obregón to share our work & impact with many friends & partners #ComeWheatUs

An excellent and vital session CIMMYT Science & Innovation Week led by Jill Cairns and Monica Fischer: moving beyond counting women towards embedded and meaningful gender and social inclusion.

A wonderful morning hiking in Texcoco with the CIMMYT Global Wheat Program 🇲🇽 Nice to spend time together after a busy week of Science & Innovation and preparing to welcome visitor's from around the world to Obregon next week #teamwork 🌎 🌾 #ComeWheatUs

The Wheat Physiology @ CIMMYT team ready to welcome our visitors at CIMMYT during Wheat Field Day Carlos Robles @FcoPintoE #ComeWheatUs

Final stop on our Field Day field tour at Campo Experimental Norman E Borlaug with the wheat physiology team exploring new variation & technologies to build resilience & secure future wheat @FcoPintoE Carlos Robles Carolina Rivera-Amado #ComeWheatUs

Why is so important for women in science to have a professional online profile? Thank you Cristobal Uauy for explaining how to do that right at the Wheat Champions career developing training CIMMYT Obregon station Diane Saunders Borlaug Global Rust Initiative

Interacting with HeDWIC researchers in the field during visitors’ week CIMMYT Obregon. Plenty to talk about heat and drought resilient wheat, Carlos Robles leading the field session. Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR) #ComeWheatUs

Learning from the experts, right height, spike volume, rust resistance among other criteria. Still some plots to go!

Coming here at CIMMYT during Visitors Week was such an amazing experience. Seeing so many strong women and talking with them was so uplifting. You are all such an inspiration Alison Bentley Maricelis Acevedo Diane Saunders Maria Itria Ibba Carolina Rivera-Amado Samira El Hanafi Paula Silva

It was a pleasure to have you at CIMMYT 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗮!

Three field approaches to study wheat responses to heat stress CIMMYT HeDWIC Hub: 1) simulating heat waves (amb temp >4 °C/5d), 2) increasing night temp at key GS with ceramic plates and 3) late sowing 🌾🥵Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR) @FcoPintoE Carlos Robles @ErikMurchie Enrico A.

Wheat improvement teams from CIMMYT and INIFAP walking advanced wheat germplasm at CENEB in the Yaqui Valley. Promising material -> next-generation commercial varieties for Mexico

Vernalizing seeds of Rothamsted Research novel wheat architecture mutants for drought improvement. Great to see them growing, looking forward to begin the crossing at CIMMYT. Steve Thomas, @StephanieSwarbr and Carolina Rivera-Amado here we go again!

Well deserved award to Alison Bentley, an example of passion in communicating agriculture through research! 👏

Something to remember during the field season. Phenotypes at the upper tails are likely to have large positive errors. doi.org/10.1186/s12864… Take home message: don't get too excited by data or observations from a single plot. #plantbreeding

Multi-year, multi-environment testing of spring bread and durum wheat varieties supports identification of improved wheat cultivars to meet production demands in Mexico INIFAP 🌾 🇲🇽 New study out now Crop Science 🌱 led by Jorge Valenzuela-Antelo and Francisco Piñera doi.org/10.1002/csc2.2…

Pots transference, crosses (with CIMMYT elite) and germination of F1s using Rothamsted Research novel wheat architecture mutants for drought improvement. Steve Thomas, @StephanieSwarbr and Carolina Rivera-Amado good progress!

Happy 1 year anniversary #WiCS community! To celebrate, have a look at the summary of the discussion we had CIMMYT few months ago, on the importance of work-life balance and mentorship. To many more years of empowerment and growth! 💪🚀 zenodo.org/record/7527480
