The BiDifferent mid-term meeting was held from 29-30 June 2023 in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Minutes are available [here (245,0 KB)]. The final workshop will be held in Laimburg (Italy), in February 2024 (dates TBC), when all the results will be available and evaluated.
Partners reported that field tests of club wheat varieties (spring type) were carried out at four locations (South Tyrol/Italy, North Tyrol/Austria, south-east Bavaria/Germany and Brandenburg/north-east Germany) in the first year of investigation (2022). About ten cultivars were tested and grain quality data analysis was taking place. Field tests of about ten winter accessions were prepared for the same locations plus an additional field site at INRA, France.
Fingerprinting tests are being carried out at JKI using the 25k Wheat XT array (SGS Traitgenetics, Seeland, Germany). Resistance/tolerance analysis under greenhouse conditions against fungal pathogens like leaf rust, stripe rust, powdery mildew and Fusarium are also ongoing.
