8th International Triticeae Symposium

Land Institute Lead Scientist, Dr. Lee DeHaan, will be speaking at the 8th International Triticeae Symposium in Wernigerode and Gatersleben, Germany. The International Triticeae Symposium (ITS) is an interdisciplinary conference organized by the International Triticeae Consortium, plant genetic resources researchers, and others. The previous seven ITS were held in Sweden (1991), the U.S. (1994), Syria (1997), Spain (2001), Czech Republic (2005), Japan (2009), and China (2013). Its primary goal is to bring together outstanding scientists working with Triticeae to exchange information on progress and discuss future research directions with our common interests – to understand and effectively utilize Triticeae for the benefit of humankind.
