Termina el congreso internacional sobre trigo duro “From seed to pasta” #FSTP5 con excelentes intervenciones de nuestros amigos y colaboradores Karim Ammar y Carlos Guzmán.
@AgrovegetalSA
Simon Krattinger from @KAUST explains how wheat went viral. He talks about the role of wild relative introgressions in wheat domestication using my favourite Triticum timopheevii’s role in durum wheat’s history through the failed wheat species genome sequence consortium! #FSTP5
Great presentation and impressive work by Karim Ammar, durum wheat breeder from @CIMMYT, and @HafssaKabbaj from @ICARDA on durum wheat breeding!
It’s been a pleasure collaborating and working with you both on the durum wheat project.#FSTP5
Thanks to the organizers of #FSTP5 for inviting me to present our work on single-plant omics to disentangle FHB resistance. This work is a novel step to improve FHB/DON resistance in cereals. Preprint coming soon!
Thanks to @NSERC_CRSNG@SaskBarley@westerngrains for the funding.
Mixing things up a bit with a presentation on barley genetics by @gurcharn_brar wheat breeder from @UAlberta talking about a single plant omics approach with implications for FHB resistance studies in wheat research #FSTP5
Great talk by @Val_Klymiuk from @SaskWheat on pre-breeding for disease resistance in Canadian bread and durum wheat using wild relatives of wheat at #FSTP5 Very impressive work and good luck for your new role as Applied Genomics and Pre-breeding Chair @usask
Durum wheat breeder Karim Ammar from @CIMMYT gave an insightful talk on strategies to accelerate genetic gains and improve durum wheat resilience to climate change especially for drought tolerance and stem rust resistance #FSTP5
Special mention for The Carlotta Award #FSTP5 goes to @veronicaguwela from @cimmyt on her PhD work on introgressing wild relative segments into Malawian wheat to increase grain nutrient content @Notts_WRC funded by @UoNBiosciences Future Food Beacon
