Farmers have conserved about a billion liters of fungicide this century thanks to the adoption of disease-resistant wheat varieties developed from wild wheat relatives.
With climate change and evolving pathogens threatening wheat production, increased investment in researching the genetic diversity of wild relatives is crucial for sustainable agriculture.
Wheat provides 20% of human protein and calories, making it essential for food security, yet its yields face risks from climate changes and emerging diseases.
To combat the challenges posed by climate change, wheat science needs significant investment in next-generation breeding tools to harness the genetic potential of wild wheat.
