Aim: to offer training in the genetic analysis methodologies employed in WISP at the John Innes Centre. The participants will gain the skills necessary to apply these methodologies in their own research. Aimed at anyone with an interest in cereals research and crop bre...
This workshop will provide an overview of seed health testing methods using molecular methods. It will include various molecular assays for the detection of seed transmittable pathogens with reverse transcriptase PCR, classic end-point PCR, bio-PCR and real-time PCR.
Heritage - Hanmer Springs, North Canterbury, New Zealand
The Symposium will include inputs from plant pathologists and other researchers, who study soilborne plant pathogens and the diseases they cause, soil health, microbiology and related ecology, in forestry, pasture, arable, fruit and vegetable crops, and natural environm...
Seed biology fundamentals; managing population size and isolation distances; seed production, harvesting, and cleaning practices for several vegetable crops; basic on-farm varietal improvement and breeding techniques; and economics of seed production.
The conference will, address the critical gaps in understanding about production constraints, germplasm exploitation to identify novel genes for crop improvement, enhancing quality, tolerance against major biotic and abiotic stresses, developing resilient legumes agains...
