The main focus of this project was the identification of wheat landraces cultivated in Uzbekistan. For this purpose a number of expeditions to remote regions were organized to survey local wheat populations and collect samples. For each sample, we described the local area of its cultivation, determined the purpose of its cultivation, and described its yield and bread-making qualities. The project was implemented under the overall supervision of the Sub-regional Food and Agriculture Organization for Central Asia (FAO-SEC) in close cooperation with the International Winter Wheat Improvement Program (IWWIP) represented by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) Turkey office.
