The
7th International Triticeae Symposium (7ITS) will be held during Jun
9-13, 2013 at the Sichuan Agricultural University (SAU), Chengdu, China.
Triticeae
is the economically most important tribe in the grass family (Poaceae).
It contains the major cereal crops and forage grasses such as wheat,
barley and rye. It also includes important fodder grasses in genera such
as Agropyron, Elymus, Leymus, and Psathyrostachys.
Because of their economic importance, plants in Triticeae are commonly
used for applied and theoretical researches compared with other tribes
in Poaceae.
The
International Triticeae Symposium is an interdisciplinary conference
attended by taxonomists, phylogeneticists, geneticists, molecular
biologists, plant breeders, agronomists, and so forth, and has been held
for six times in Sweden (1991), U.S.A (1994). Syria (1997), Spain
(2001), Czech Republic (2005), Japan (2009). Its primary goal is to
bring together outstanding scientists working with Triticeae to
exchange information on progresses and discuss future research
directions with our common interests – to understand and effectively
utilize Triticeae for the benefit of human.
This symposium includes four main themes:
Systematics and Phylogeny
Biodiversity and Conservation
Genetics and Genomics
Breeding and Utilization
The
Local Organizing Committee invites you to enjoy this meeting and
welcomes any suggestions on the Scientific and Social Programs.
We look forward to welcoming you all in Chengdu, China.
