The Durum Wheat Genome: Sequencing, Mining and Leveraging the Tetraploid Wheat Genome
暫譯: 杜倫小麥基因組：測序、挖掘與利用四倍體小麥基因組

Dr. Roberto Tuberosa co-chairs the Expert Working Group on Durum Wheat Genomics and Breeding of the Wheat Initiative. He was involved in the sequencing of wild emmer and durum wheat. He has been working on durum wheat genomics applied to durum breeding, with an emphasis on the dissection of the QTLome for resistance to drought, and disease resistance. He organized the three international congresses "From Seed to Pasta" in 2008/15/18. He collaborates with seed companies to develop new durum cultivars.

Dr. Luigi Cattivelli, Director of the CREA Research Centre for Genomics and Bioinformatics in Fiorenzuolad'Arda and former Director of the Centre for Cereal Research in Foggia, co-chairs the Expert Working Group on Durum Wheat Genomics and Breeding. He was involved in the sequencing of wild emmer and bread wheat genomes and coordinated the sequencing of the durum wheat genome of cv. Svevo. He has collaborated with seed companies to develop wheat and barley breeding.

Dr. Aldo Ceriotti, Director of the Institute on Plant Biology and Biotechnology (CNR) in Milano, was involved in the sequencing of wild emmer and durum wheat. His research focuses on the synthesis of proteins in wheat with particular emphasis on glutenins and gliadins and their effects on bread quality. He has acted as President of the European Plant Science Organization (EPSO) and he has been actively involved in the activities of the Italian Platform "Plants for the Future".

Dr. Assaf Distelfeld, Director of the Institute of Evolution and Professor at the Dept. of Evolutionary and Environmental Biology, University of Haifa, has coordinated the sequencing of wild emmer and has been involved in sequencing of durum wheat and bread wheat. His research focuses on wild cereal germplasm, especially wild emmer wheat, to understand the molecular mechanisms of wheat domestication. He also identified genetic factors with potential to increase wheat nutritional value andadaptation to various stress conditions.

Dr. Curtis Pozniak, Professor at the University of Saskatchewan and Director of the Crop Development Centre and member of the Scientific Board of the Wheat Initiative, coordinates the 10+ Wheat Pangenome project. He has been involved in the sequencing of wild emmer durum wheat and coordinated the bread wheat sequencing. He has also been involved in the sequencing of the barley genome. He coordinates the largest publicly funded wheat breeding project with a major focus on quality and disease resistance.

羅伯托·圖貝羅薩博士擔任小麥倡議的硬小麥基因組學與育種專家工作組的共同主席。他參與了野生小麥和硬小麥的基因組測序。他一直專注於應用於硬小麥育種的硬小麥基因組學，特別是對抗旱和疾病抗性的QTLome的解析。他於2008年、2015年和2018年組織了三次國際會議「從種子到義大利麵」。他與種子公司合作開發新的硬小麥品種。

路易吉·卡提維利博士，位於費倫茲烏拉達的CREA基因組學與生物資訊研究中心主任，及前福賈穀物研究中心主任，擔任硬小麥基因組學與育種專家工作組的共同主席。他參與了野生小麥和麵包小麥基因組的測序，並協調了cv. Svevo的硬小麥基因組測序。他與種子公司合作開發小麥和大麥的育種。

阿爾多·切里奧提博士，米蘭植物生物學與生物技術研究所（CNR）主任，參與了野生小麥和硬小麥的測序。他的研究專注於小麥中蛋白質的合成，特別是對麩質蛋白和醇溶蛋白的研究，以及它們對麵包品質的影響。他曾擔任歐洲植物科學組織（EPSO）主席，並積極參與意大利「未來植物」平台的活動。

阿薩夫·迪斯特費爾德博士，海法大學進化研究所所長及進化與環境生物學系教授，協調了野生小麥的測序，並參與了硬小麥和麵包小麥的測序。他的研究專注於野生穀物的種質，特別是野生小麥，以了解小麥馴化的分子機制。他還識別了具有潛力提高小麥營養價值和適應各種壓力條件的遺傳因子。

柯提斯·波茲尼亞克博士，薩斯喀徹溫大學教授及作物發展中心主任，並且是小麥倡議科學委員會成員，協調10+小麥全基因組計畫。他參與了野生小麥硬小麥的測序，並協調了麵包小麥的測序。他還參與了大麥基因組的測序。他協調了最大的公共資金支持的小麥育種計畫，主要專注於品質和抗病性。
