2020 was an exceptional year, to say the least.

Laboratories closures and limitations on access to labs and field sites around the world since last spring greatly impacted many wheat projects.

IWGSC activities have been affected as well and several projects were delayed. Nonetheless, we were able to make progress in some areas thanks to the dedication of IWGSC projects leaders and the continuous support of IWGSC sponsors.
