International Winter Wheat Improvement Program: history, activities, impact and future
The history, activities, impact and future of the IWWIP have been evaluated by Morgounov et al., (2019) and published at Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering. IWWIP cooperation with researchers in Turkey, Central and West Asia and several US universities has resulted in a number of publications reviewed in this paper. The role of winter wheat in the global context and production environments, current IWWIP breeding system, research highlights, impact, and future perspectives were examined by authors.
