Session Topics
- Genetic resources in maize and sorghum
- B73 and Mo17 sequence data, high-resolution mapping populations
- Internet genomic databases and post genome and phenotypic publicly accessible data
- Breeding for specific traits (complex traits, breeding for quality, resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, industrial uses)
- New tools and technologies for breeding
- Optimal allocation of resources in maize and sorghum breeding
- Educational and human resources; public and private research and development
We aim for an audience ranging from practical breeders to maize and sorghum genome scientists and will offer ample opportunity for PhD students to present their research projects and offer a highly reduced fee.
