Breeding of Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) for Different Adaptation Types in Multifunctional Agricultural Production

Germplasm research for sustainable wheat production has undergone a significant development in recent years. Considerable progress has been witnessed in breeding, especially with the selection of winter wheat genotypes with better adaptability to different technological systems in multifunctional agricultural production. The selection of wheat genotypes with abiotic and biotic resistance, stable performance under different fertilizer applications and for various technological systems, will contribute to the development of germplasm with special adaptation type and to that of environment-friendly technologies.
