welcome:
The Symposium on Cereal Physiology and Breeding aims to generate activities that maximize opportunities to understand the physiological and genetic determinants of yield (both potential and under adverse conditions) and quality (both functional and nutritional) of major cereals and thus contribute to genetic improvement. To do this, the network carries out actions that promote communication, research, and internationalization of research groups.
The Symposium is organized within the context of the FIRCME (Physiology of Yield and Quality for the Improvement of Cereals) network funded (during 2018 and 2020) by the Spanish Research Agency that currently continues to operate autonomosly. FIRCME links some of the Spanish groups of international prestige in physiology and/or genetics/improvements of cereals, that is, open to the entire Mediterranean scientific community interested in these subject areas, although contributions from non – Mediterranean countries will also be welcome.
The goal of this symposium is to create a fertile space for scientific exchange and to facilitate synergies between scientific groups working on issues of physiology, genetics and cereal breeding. Collaborations and synergies between Spanish groups and also with groups from other countries will improve the level of multidisciplinarity, impact and internationalization of research activities in the search for solutions to global agriculture, and particularly the Mediterranean areas. Therefore, this event may facilitate the establishment of consortia that could potentially participate in actions of the an International – Mediterranean initiative Partnership on Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area (PRIMA) Focusing on sustainable water management and food systems.
This Symposium on Physiology and Cereal Breeding will focus on physiology and quality improvement (industrial, nutritional) without losing sight of the aspects of physiology and yield improvement. This implies any work that focus on aspects of yield, quality, physiology and crop phenotyping are welcome.
