Welcome Letter
Dear Colleagues,
The International Conference on Wheat Diversity and Human Health is considered to be a milestone event in Turkey and the region in the fields of wheat diversity and human health, having the attendance of researchers, scientists and industry people from all around the world. The conference will be organized in Istanbul, between the 22nd and 24th of October 2019 under the authority of the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, CIMMYT, ICARDA, and The International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture- FAO.
The objective of this conference is bringing the Wheat researchers and the Human Health community together to exchange information and discuss strategies for improving the health benefits of wheat by exploiting diverse genetic resources, modern breeding, genomics, and sustainable production and processing technologies. This milestone event will be highlighted by plenary and in talks delivered by national and international experts from both fields. The conference program will also include oral and poster presentations from researches in these fields.
It’s our pleasure to invite you to attend The International Conference on Wheat Diversity and Human Health in which every aspect of Wheat Diversity and Human Health is discussed in great detail. We would like to thank you in advance for your valuable contributions and participation.
