VILLASENOR MIR, Héctor Eduardo. Wheat improvement system in Mexico. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2015, vol.6, n.spe11, pp.2183-2189. ISSN 2007-0934.  https://doi.org/10.29312/remexca.v0i11.796.

Wheat improvement in Mexico began in 1946 and worked with an organized scheme that yielded benefits to gain control of stem rust, achieve self-sufficiency in 1957 and reap its record production of 5.5 MT in 1985. In the 90's the support was removed for production and improvement, and research decays, resulting in loss of self-sufficiency. The creation in 2004 of the Product System Wheat (CONASIST) gave good interaction between the links and facilitated capture demands to finance a project of 2006 -2008 that generated 10 new varieties. CONASIST in 2010, also boosted finance improvements, so the purpose of this paper is to indicate how it is done through the support of SAGARPA-CONACYT, Sector Fund Project No. 146 788. With effect from 2011-2016, involved INIFAP, CIMMYT, UACH and COLPOS, strengthening the improvement and commitment to release 18 varieties for irrigation (Shoal, North and Northwest) and seven for rainfed. By the end of 2014, has been achieved greater interaction between improvement programs, lines have been tested in more than 180 environments, and 12 varieties were released, 10 lines are in the process of characterizing and, major rust races prevalent in Mexico have been identified.
