Current Progress/Outcomes:
1.Gain an in-depth understanding of the ecological and climatic characteristics of multiple CIMMYT experimental stations in Kenya, including Kiboko, Naivasha, Kakamega, Embu, Shikusa, Kiminini, and Kital.
2.Undertake field screening of maize inbred lines for insect resistance (FAM), drought resistance (DS), and disease resistance (MLN). Complete the screening and identification of over 5,000 maize inbred lines, and select more than 100 elite maize inbred lines with excellent resistance.
3.At the haploid doubling facility of CIMMYT Kenya Center in Kiboko, learn about the world's advanced haploid doubling technology process through practice and study. By combining domestic haploid doubling methods, an effective method that can improve doubling efficiency while enhancing seedling survival rate was developed through optimization and innovation.
4.Enhance the accuracy and efficiency of agricultural research through the two-way flow of knowledge and technology, thereby promoting the rapid transformation and application of research achievements, and laying a solid foundation for future cooperation between the two parties.
