The document discusses projects aimed at improving durum wheat productivity and quality in North Africa and the Near East. It summarizes:
- The WANADDIN and IRDEN projects from 1996-2006 that developed drought-tolerant and disease-resistant durum varieties, conducted socioeconomic studies, and trained farmers.
- IRDEN's impacts, including improved production technologies adopted by farmers, on-farm seed processing, and promotion of value-added products.
- Current efforts through on-farm demonstrations of new varieties in Morocco and development of genotypes with improved drought tolerance, yield stability, and grain quality.

10. Development of Durum Genotypes with Improved drought tolerance and Yield Stability IRDEN BACKUP RESEARCH From: Mesut Keser [mailto:M.Keser@cgiar.org] Sent: Monday, October 26, 2009 1:46 PM To: Nachit, Miloudi (ICARDA) Cc: Baum, Michael (ICARDA) Subject: Seed Request Dear Miloudi, I hope this finds you well. Urfa Institute sent one of ICARDA lines, Ammar 6, to State Cultivar Test Center for registration . He informed me that he would like to have original seed of Ammar for seed multiplication as to have enough seed when it is registered. If you can send 50 Kg seed of Ammar 6, he will plant this year for seed multiplication. Could you pls advice. Best regards. Mesut
