During the 2024 budget cycle, the Texas Wheat Producers Board (TWPB) voted to join other state wheat organizations and industry representatives to support the Wheat Genetics Resource Center Industry University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC). This partnership is a critical step in advancing wheat research on a regional level, with a specific focus on the center’s extensive collection of wheat germplasm.

The current IUCRC funding cycle will support six major research projects, one of which is being led by Texas scientists.
