UCL and NIAB are pleased to present MAGIC 2019: a free workshop on multi-parental populations with a focus on crop plants designed for academic and non-academic researchers and breeders.

We will present results from two MAGIC wheat populations developed at NIAB: MAGIC elite and MAGIC diverse. Population resources are available from the NIAB Resources webpage. In addition, there will be talks from partners working on multiparental populations at IRRI (Philippines) and ICRISAT (India).

Venue and Dates

MAGIC 2019 will take place from 23rd-24th July, 2019, and will be held at the NIAB innovation farm, Cambridge, UK. More information about the venue is available here, for directions see here.
