CIMMYT

For example, a method has been devised to cultivate a population with a wide range of genetic variability from around the world and to promote selective breeding from this population in each country. The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) in Mexico is one of the centers that continues to conduct research in this area. [Motoyoshi Takeda]
[Hybrid vigor in animals]
In the case of animals, animals in which a clear distinction is made between livestock used for production and breeding stock, such as silkworms, chickens, and pigs, are systematically used.

From the Green Revolution

… Norman E. Borlaug (1914- ), one of the promoters of the Green Revolution, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for his work in developing high-yielding Mexican short-culm wheat. This Mexican short-culm wheat, famous for being one of the parents of Japanese wheat, Norin 10, was developed at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (Centro Internacional de Mejoramiento de Maiz Y Trigo) which was established in Mexico in 1963 with the support of the Rockefeller and Ford Foundations, and quickly spread to Mexico, India, Pakistan, and other countries. Also with the support of the two foundations, the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) was established in 1962 on government-provided land in Los Baños, near Manila, Philippines. The Institute brought together outstanding scientists from all over the world and published a new high-yield short-culm rice variety, IR-8, called the miracle rice, in 1965, and IR-5 the following year. …
