KIHARA MEMORIAL
INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM
ON CYTOPLASMIC ENGINEERING IN WHEAT



Since Dr. H. Kihara started the introduction of alien cytoplasms into wheat in 1951, numerous research projects have been developed in the field of cytoplasmic inheritance in wheat and its relatives, including plasmon diversity, organelle genome analysis, molecular analysis of organelle genes, nucleo-cytoplasm interactions and practical utilization of cytoplasmic inheritance for wheat breeding. These studies in wheat have contributed to the development of other plant or crop applications as a model system for cytoplasmic engineering. Some of these studies have been conducted under internationally cooperative projects, which have been helpful for exchanging information and materials, and for cooperative research experiments. It has been proposed that we should discuss the achievements of research on cytoplasmic inheritance and enginnering.

International Symposium on Cytoplasmic Engineering in Wheat (ISCEW) is organized for the purpose of reviewing the achievements and discussing the prospect for further development in scientific studies on cytoplasms in wheat and its related studies. ISCEW will also be a good opportunity to offer international cooperation. We are very much welcome to invite you to attend the symposium.
