WG 1 Leader Marianna Rakszegi (photo, Cereal Breeding Department, Agricultural Institute, Centre for Agricultural Research, 2462 Martonvásár, Brunszvik u 2, Hungary) and WG 1 Vice-leader Maria Papageorgiou (photo, Central Research Laboratory for Physical and Chemical Testing of Foods, Department of Food Science and Technology. Faculty of Geosciences – International Hellenic University, Alexandrian Campus, GR-57400 Thessaloniki, Greece) organized the first webinar for the Sourdomics community entitled: 'EFFORTS TO OBTAIN CEREALS AND/OR PSEUDOCEREALS WITH BETTER PERFORMANCE, GRAIN COMPOSITION OR QUALITY'. The webinar took place via the Sourdomics' Zoom platform on 4th March at 15.30 with 39 attendees. There were six presenters with highly interesting presentations regarding the new developments in the area of cereals and pseudocereals. The program was very coulorful starting from organic breeding and prebreeding, through biofortification, biochemistry and food processing to genome editing thus including a wide range of research topics. Selected material of this webinar can be found at the repository of Sourdomics website. We are looking forward to the next webinar and hope it will be as successful as the first one.
