Brief Summary of ORF 2015
An Oat Rust Forum (ORF2015) with key representatives from the oat research and stakeholder community was convened by the SBC on February 17-18, 2015 in St. Paul Minnesota, to develop a strategy for a community-wide approach for managing oat resistance to rust (crown and stem), and to set clear direction for funding agencies on how this effort should be supported.
The forum focused on:
An assessment of current capabilities
Gap analysis of capabilities and possible "build-up" strategies
Discussion of an ideal capability network/platform
Possible strategies for funding
Short-term governance and communication.
