Quite a few people are engaged in that task. Many people might
think that flour is the only thing that is designed by mixing
different types of wheat to get a more or less consistant flour
in regard to baking qualities. However there is constant work
being done to improve wheat yeilds and quality. Last I knew,
this was being done mainly by breeding and selecting.

It seems that the rusts and other wheat diseases do their own
selecting and new varities of wheat eventually become subject to
improved strains of rust and such. That drives the need to
search for more resistant wheats.
