This one-day workshop will explore and share developing technologies in phenomics and genomics applicable to oat breeding. Scope includes relevant developments from the oat pan-genome, international oat diversity panels, insights and methodologies from related crops (e.g. artificial intelligence, haplotype-led approaches), oat genotyping platforms, oat germplasm and oat phenomics. A discussion-oriented program will emphasise breeders as end-users and reflect participant interests to enhance application and research in oat breeding technologies.

Host convenors: Dr Allan Rattey, InterGrain Pty Ltd and Professor Chengdao Li, Murdoch University.
International co-convenors – Dr Michael McMullen, North Dakota State University, Dr Nick Tinker, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Dr Martin Mascher, Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research Germany.

Invitation to Participants: Any participant wishing to contribute information and discussion points to the workshop are invited to prepare up to 5 slides per topic area to be accessible by USB drive at the start of the workshop.

This one-day workshop will share knowledge and understanding in development of multi-pathotype durable resistance to oat crown rust; including relevant germplasm sources, field, glasshouse and genome based selection systems for application in oat breeding. The meeting will consider the establishment of an international durable OCR nursery as a means of enhancing access to germplasm.

Invitation to Participants: Any participant wishing to contribute information and discussion points to the workshop are invited to prepare up to 5 slides per topic area to be accessible by USB drive at the start of the workshop.

This specialist workshop will focus on oat crown and stem rust pathogens and host genetics and genomics with a view to shared understanding and consolidating progress with these challenging and traditionally intractable oat pathogens. The meeting will be hosted at the Cobbitty facilities of the Australian Cereal Rust Control program with access to rust laboratories, controlled environment facilities and field nurseries near Camden, on the outskirts of Sydney. Participants will be advised and assisted to take relevant biosecurity precautions prior to arrival and on departure from the workshop.

Host convenor: Professor Robert Park, University of Sydney.
International co-convenors: Dr Yue Jin, University of Minnesota and Dr Edyta Paczos-Grzęda, University of Life Sciences Lublin.

Venue: Cobbitty facilities, Australian Cereal Rust Control, Sydney, New South Wales
Cost: AUD$150/person, includes catering.

Registration is essential – see link above to workshop registration page.

Technical presentations by AEGIC’s Chopin Technologies research scientists will cover:

• Quality of Australian oats
• Oat flour quality – developing MixoLab and SRC protocols for oat flour
• Oat Flour mixing profiles and rheology
• Australian Oats Innovation: Versatility of Oats beyond breakfast

A link to this workshop will be made available throughout the conference.
