  1. Proposal for a new COST Action: Triticeae genomics for the advancement of essential European crops TritiGen COST F&A0604 Proposer: Prof. Alan H. Schulman Head of Genomics Research, MTT Group Leader & Docent, University of Helsinki

  2. TritiGen: History Initial inquiries: March 2006 Letter of invitation to ETGI list: 26 April Preliminary proposal: 31 May Notification of selection for full proposal: 12 July Full proposal: 15 September Invitation to present: 3 October Presentation in Brussels: 9 October Notification of Approval: 2 November Estimated kickoff: April 2007

  3. TritiGen… … is a network coordinating: • Marker development for high resolution mapping, MAS • Assessment, development & utilisation of genetic diversity • Development of high-resolution mapping populations • Physical map construction to accelerate map-based cloning • High throughput phenotyping resources • Application of transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic approaches • Bioinformatic & sequence annotation platforms • Development of new genetics tools (QTL, association genetics) • Set up of a foundation for genome sequencing …with the goal to support development of a competitive, sustainable European agriculture based on improved key crops - wheat, barley & rye

  4. Research centres participating in TritiGen 1 123 (46 ) scientists (70 labs)have given details, + 9 COST-neighbour scientists (7 institutions) 1 1 3 1 1 Currently missing: Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia 1 2 3 1 7 3 1 1 9 2 5 1 1 1 1 9 2 6 1 1 4 1

  5. What is involved? • How is it organised? TritiGen

  6. TritiGen organisation and content • Four Working Groups • WG1 DivGen :Tools for Assessing and Harvesting Genetic Diversity • WG2 PhysGen: Accessing the Physical Genome for Sustainability and Quality • WG3 TraitGen: Implementation of Genomics Approaches for Understanding Cereal Traits • WG4 FuncGen: Functional Genomics for Testing and Validation of Candidate Genes
