From Seed to Pasta IV

Facing the challenges posed by the climate crisis requires updated crop managements and fast genetic gains made possible by genomic-assisted selection based on advanced genomics knowledge and breeder’s friendly phenotyping to identify superior haplotyes, clone and edit the causal sequences. State-of-the-art presentations will showcase how to safeguard soil health while reducing the environmental footprint of durum wheat production based upon higher nutrient-use efficiency coupled with better understanding of GxExM interactions. Issues related to the production of higher quality and healthier semolina and pasta will be addressed in a dedicated session involving the milling and pasta industry.
