PAG Asia 2015

The IWGSC organized one workshop at PAG Asia 2015

The availability of draft genome sequences and the continuing efforts to produce high quality reference sequences for each of the 42 chromosome arms of bread wheat are now generating new opportunities in wheat research. This workshop aims to highlight the advances in analysing the complex genome of wheat and the opportunities that are emerging for wheat improvement.

Organizer: Rudi Appels
