The Sorghum and Millet workshop will take place during next year’s Plant and Animal Genome Conference (PAG31 onJanuary 12-17, 2024) in San Diego, California on January 14th from 8:00 to 10:10 AM in the Pacific H-I conference room. The workshop is being organized by Dr. Yinghua Huang from the USDA-ARS. Speakers include:

Molecular breeding technologies and digital predictions have greatly contributed to the optimization of crops. However, there is room for improvement on methods to evaluate the effects of genotype-by-environment interactions and understand factors underlying differential performance of crop genotypes.

The ISRFG 2023 meeting in India served as a dynamic hub for rice genomics, featuring cutting-edge presentations and fostering collaborative discussions. One standout presentation was GrameneOryza, a spotlight in the genomics landscape, unraveling the diverse tapestry of 28 Oryza genomes.

Dr. Ted DeJong, Vice-President of the International Society for Horticultural Science, has initiated the launch of “Hort Forum,” a series of webinars followed by panel discussions and open questions that open up the opportunity for open discussion and debate. The third installment, organized by Dr. DeJong and Dr.

The Institute of Grapevine and Wine Sciences is hosting the Open Conference on Grapevine Physiology and Biotechnology in Logroño, Spain from July 7-11, 2024. This multidisciplinary, interactive forum will be focused on the grapevine's physiological responses to the environment and to beneficial or pathological organisms as well as the development of technologies to adapt and improve those responses in this era of climate change. Proposed sessions include:

Cultivated grapevine (Vitis vinifera ssp. vinifera) has a high level of heterozygosity, so when the grapevine genome was to be sequenced, the nearly homozygous PN40024 clone was selected, and it is now used as a reference in many grapevine studies. The third assembled version of this genotype (12X.v2) depended on six dense parental genetic maps (Canaguier et al. 2017).
