75 years in the service of plant breeding - From chi-square to genomic selection

In 2024, the annual conference of Saatgut Austria celebrates its 75 anniversary. Starting in 1950 in Vienna with only a few presentations and participants, the conference moved already in 1951 to the Ennstal – first to Admont and later to Gumpenstein – and welcomed in 1952 its first foreign participant from Bavaria. A real boost of international participants started after 1955 when the Austrian State Treaty was signed and 17 years of occupation by foreign troops ended. Since then, the conference is a hub for the transfer of knowledge in all fields of plant breeding - from statistical analysis of field experiments to the application of molecular tools – to commercial plant breeders, seed producers, experts at public authorities and scientists at universities and research institutions in Central Europe.
