| For the second time, the International Society of Sugar Cane Technologists (ISSCT) pathology and molecular biology workshops were jointly held, from 23-27 June 2008 in Cali, Colombia. The meeting was hosted by CENICAÑA and organised by Jorge I. Victoria and Jershon López-Gerena. The response of participants was positive with 44 delegates representing 15 countries attending. Thirty seven oral presentations and ten posters covering a wide range of topics including molecular characterisation of yeasts, insect pests and pathogens, genetic transformation of sugarcane, molecular markers, genetic mapping, pathogen variability, disease diagnosis, plant resistance and disease epidemiology among others were presented. The workshop also provided the opportunity to listen to three plenary talks on biofuel production, transgenics and nutritional improvements in food crops through genomics. A special session was devoted to orange rust, a newly introduced disease in Florida and in Central America. Following the technical sessions, site visits were organised during two days to sugar mills, commercial fields, plots with transgenic sugarcane, and laboratories at CENICAÑA. The experience of having joint-section meetings proved very useful with excellent interaction among participants | |
