Marker meetings on 9 and 21 March
The AWBMMP-GA Wheat and Barley Steering Committees will meet soon in Adelaide. The purpose of these meetings is to review project progress and to seek advice from the members of the steering committees. Both meetings will be held in the Seminar Room of the Plant Genomics Centre on Hartley Grove, Urrbrae. The Plant Genomics Centre is building 22 on the map of the
Waite Campus.
The meetings are open to any observers who wish to attend. We also welcome your suggestions of traits, parents, populations and/or loci for which AWBMMP-GA can help advance wheat, durum or barley breeding
via the development of molecular markers. Please send your suggestions to Diane Mather (diane.mather@adelaide.edu.au) .
