PRIN conference on durum wheat

On February 12th 2026, a PRIN plenary congress has been organised in Rome, at the Auditorium “Donat Cattin” in Via Rieti. The objective was to bring together all PRIN 2020-2022 projects on durum wheat (Triticum durum), to present their work and results. This of course included our project Polyploidbreeding.

The conference program was split in:

• morning session on the presentation of results from the twelve PRIN projects on durum wheat
• afternoon session with round tables on durum wheat breeding and management with relevant stakeholders

The congress was also the occasion to present and distribute a booklet (in Italian) on scientific research on quality and sunstainability of durum wheat production in Italy (Italian title “La ricerca italiana per la sostenibilità e la qualità della filiera del frumento duro”; “Terra è Vita” 03/2026 - VIII.+ 200pp. - ISSN:2421-356X).
