Impact of durum wheat breeding on major genes regulating flowering time and its agronomic implications. * FRIEDRICH LONGING (University of Hohenheim Germany). Durum breeding in Germany: new programs and ideas for the near future.
2ND DAY - JULY 28 SESSION 2: DURUM GENOMICS (14.30-16.30 CET)
* HAIPEI LIU (University of Adelaide, Australia). Durum miRNA-mediated networks in response to water-deficit and heat stress during reproduction. * AGATA GADALETA (University of Bari, Italy). Candidate genes and genome-wide association study for fibre content in wild and cultivated wheats. * MARCO MACCAFERRI (University of Bologna). The Tetraploid wheat Global Collection. * JORGE DUBCOVSKY (UC-Davis, USA).
