The Themes for the Tenth International Wheat Genetics Symposium are:
1
. Evolution and Genetic Diversity2. Cytogenetics
3. Structural Genomics, Functional Genomics and Proteomics
4. Germplasm evaluation
5. Technologies for Genetic Modification (Transformation, Chromosome
Engineering and Mutagenesis)
6. Classical and Molecular Breeding
7. Genetics of Resistance to Biotic Stress
8. Genetics of Tolerance to Abiotic Stress
9. Nutritional and Technological Quality of Wheat Grain
Short workshops will be included in the Symposium
programme. In these workshops, posters, informal presentations and
discussions will be devoted to themes additional to those mentioned above.
In particular, the additional topics are:
1
. Taxonomy and Genome Symbols2. Transgenics and Genetic Aspects of Risk Assessment
3. Hybrid Wheat
4. Minor Wheat Species
5. 100 Years of Wheat Breeding and Breeding Goals in the Third Millennium
6. Pasta Wheat and Derived Products
7. Gluten Intolerance and Fuctional Foods
Finally, the International Triticeae Mapping Initiative
(ITMI) workshop will provide opportunity for presentations and discussions
on mapping of Triticeae species.
