Sybil Herrera-Foessel (far right), CIMMYT wheat geneticist and pathologist, talks with leading Australian grain farmers during a visit to the center's El Batán, Mexico headquarters, discussing wheat rust resistance research funded by Australia’s Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC). CIMMYT hosted the group at its Toluca and El Batán stations between 19 and 22 August 2011, as part of a tour of farms, private and public research institutes and grain processing facilities in Singapore, UK, France, Canada, USA, and Mexico, which was supported by GRDC. GRDC recognizes CIMMYT's past and current contributions to higher and more stable wheat yields in Australia and invests in CIMMYT research.
