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.
