The Wheat Improvement Course (WIC) was stablished in 1968 to train wheat breeders to face challenges in wheat production and it is a unique professional opportunity for early career scientist in the public and private sector. During the course, we will review core concepts in genetics, conventional breeding, statistics, and the most recent cutting-edge technologies implemented in the CIMMYT’s wheat breeding program.
Participants will directly interact with the CIMMYT’s scientific community. Plant breeding is a science and an art, and this course provides the opportunity for the new generation of breeders to learn the science and develop the art.
