It is ten years since Volume 1 of The World Wheat Book was completed and
the intervening years have seen many changes in the world economy, in
agriculture in the countries where wheat is grown, and major developments
in the techniques of wheat breeding.This second volume therefore
updates – but does not replace – the first volume by adding to the
countries discussed, giving an update on agronomy and cropping practices,
and reviewing the technological advances in wheat breeding techniques. The
opening chapters summarise the history of wheat growing, the development
of wheat breeding, and the current status of breeding in the countries
covered. The next set of chapters looks at agronomy and cropping practices
in a wide range of wheat growing regions across the world. The third set
of chapters records the latest advances in wheat breeding, looking at
concepts and strategies as well as current and developing techniques. The
fourth set reviews the developing end uses. The final group of chapters
examines specifi c biotic and abiotic threats from viruses, insect pests
and diseases. This book is subtitled A History of Wheat Breeding. It would
be even more accurate to say that it records and discusses the continuing
history of wheat breeding. As stated by Pierre Pagesse, Chairman of Groupe
Limagrain, in his Preface: “The future of wheat rests in our hands and in
those who succeed us. Let us try to do this together in a visionary and
determined manner”.
