 Adoption of Maize and Wheat Technologies in Eastern Africa: A Synthesis of the Findings of 22 Case Studies: This paper synthesizes the findings of 22 micro-level studies on technology adoption carried out by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) with national agricultural research systems in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda during 1996-1999. The authors found that technology adoption is taking place across Eastern Africa but considerable scope remains to improve the productivity of smallholder agriculture in higher potential regions with high levels of adoption.

 Application of Physiology in Wheat Breeding: The more understanding that plant breeders have of the physiological processes that underlie plant performance, the more efficiently they can use appropriate physiological mechanisms to improve crop performance. This practical guide brings together in one volume the working knowledge of a broad range of experts in applying physiology to breed for salinity, drought, cold, and waterlogging tolerance, improved micronutrient content, and other key traits from wheat in developing countries.
