The 15th Australian Barley Technical Symposium

18 - 21 September 2011

Hilton Adelaide Hotel, South Australia

"Barley for Business" is the theme of the 15^th ABTS and this will be reflected in sessions addressing industry consolidation, privatisation of plant breeding and corporate investment in research. The major changes in the structure of barley breeding will be covered in a special session providing an overview from all organisations conducting barley breeding in Australia. New advances in barley genetics, genomics, plant physiology, quality and agronomy will be presented and discussed by internationally recognised research leaders, young scientists and students.

The symposium will also offer a valuable opportunity for delegates to network with colleagues and discuss future directions for crop research in Australia and throughout the world, as well as changes in the barley production, marketing, malting and brewing sectors.
