Title: 8th International Wheat Conference and BGRI 2010 Technical Workshop

Some 530 scientists from 77 wheat-producing nations gathered for the 8th International Wheat conference (8IWC) from June 1-4, 2010, in the historic city of St. Petersburg, Russia. The IWC is held every five years, the last conference taking place in La Plata, Argentina, in 2005.The famous Vavilov Institute—one of the oldest and most comprehensive collections of germplasm—hosted the conference. “Every major wheat-producing country was represented and there was a strong private sector presence,” said Hans Braun, director, CIMMYT Global Wheat Program. “This really showed that wheat is back on the research agenda.”

The Borlaug Global Rust Initiative 2010 Technical Workshop was held just prior to the IWC. 282 leading wheat experts from Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas gathered for two days in St. Petersburg to address the threat of four new mutations of Ug99 wheat stem rust which are virulent against two important stem rust-resistance genes—SR24 and SR36—used widely in the world’s wheat breeding programs.
