Description
Yeneneh Bekele-Reba leads a 2026 field study asking whether a rye chromosome arm can steady German winter wheat under climate stress. The arm, called 1RS, has long been bred into wheat from rye. Trials ran across fourteen contrasting environments, combining molecular diversity checks, field scoring, and genomic modeling.
Rain in 2021 matched the long term average, and yields varied widely by variety. Severe drought in 2022 cut average yield by about 14 percent. Lines carrying 1RS from the Insave rye source held yield well under drought, especially when two different 1RS segments were stacked. Benefits depended strongly on the wheat background receiving the segment.
