The Congress ‘From Seed to Pasta V’ will provide a timely update on durum wheat multidisciplinary research towards a more sustainable and resilient durum wheat chain capable of enhancing food security while providing more nutritious grain and a healthier diet.

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 Tetraploid wheat genetic resources might help in reducing the environmental footprint of durum wheat production by discovering superior alleles.

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.

We look forward to welcoming you in Bari to attend FSTP5.
