|
The Carlotta Award 3rd Edition has been held successfully on 24th September at the FSTP-5 International Congress in Bari, Italy. Six excellent candidates, out of twenty, were awarded by this prestigious prize, three for the thematic area A (wheat genetics, genomics and breeding) and three for the thematic area B (sustainable wheat production for security, food quality and safety, durum wheat-pasta value chain), as reported below: THEMATIC AREA A: 1st classified: Philippa Borrill - John Innes Centre, UK Epigenetics as a new frontier for wheat improvement |

2nd classified: Klaudia Kruppa - Biological Resources Dpt., Agriculture Institute, Hungary
Genotyping-by-sequencing uncovers a Thinopyrum 4StS-1JvsS Robertsonian translocation linked to multiple stress tolerances in bread wheat
Special Mention: Veronica Guwela - CIMMYT, Texcoco, Mexico
The 4T and 7T introgressions from Amblyopyrum muticum and the 5Au introgression from Triticum urartu increases grain zinc and iron concentrations in Malawian wheat backgrounds
THEMATIC AREA B:
1st classified: Samuela Palombieri - Tuscia University, Italy
Mutagenesis-driven modulation of the carotenoid pathway in durum wheat: nutritional gains and pleiotropic effects
2nd classified: Yu Zitong - Plant Pathology Dpt., Kansas State University, USA
CRISPR-based editing of the w-and Y-gliadin gene clusters reduces wheat immunoreactivity without affecting grain protein quality
Special Mention: Maneka Malalgoda – Manitoba University, Canada
Complementing wheat with underutilized grains: a closer look at ancient grains and intermediate wheatgrass in food applications
The International prize Carlotta Award is growing more and more, edition by edition, for consideration and esteem inside the international scientific wheat community as its aim, to recognize the excellence of scientific work made by women in the wheat sector, is very appreciated.
The audience was positively impressed by their original presentations full of very interesting insights and useful information to be applied in the breeding programs and genetic improvement of the durum wheat and other cereals.
The Wheat Initiative sponsorship together with AISTEC, KWS and the Accademia Nazionale delle Scienze - detta dei 40, have received many congratulations, acknowledgements, by the audience, the attendees, the winners, the Organizing Carlotta Award Group (Dr. P. Galeffi and Dr. G. del Signore) and by Prof. R. Tuberosa and Prof. A. Gadaleta (Chairs of FSTP-5 Congress).
After this successful 3rd edition and considered the good impact in the community, a 4th Edition of the Carlotta Award could be organized in the next future (2027/2028) possibly in occasion of another International Conference focused on durum wheat and other cereals.

What Carlotta Award is?
|
The Prize "Carlotta Award" for young researchers, is reserved exclusively to women under 40 at the deadline submission. The application must consist of an abstract describing an original work, accompanied by a detailed curriculum vitae and a list of publications.
Four winners (1st and 2nd classified for each theme) will be selected by an international jury of experts and, in case of the same judgment between two (or more) candidates, the youngest one will be entitled to the prize as an incentive to her scientific and professional growth. For the 3rd Edition, to be held in the frame of the International Conference “From Seed to Pasta V”, the scientific areas on which the works are focused will be two, related to the main themes of the FSTP-4 Congress, 1-5 (a) and 6-8 (b) respectively: THEMATIC AREA A: Wheat genetics, genomics and breeding (2,3,4 and 5 sessions of FSTP-5) THEMATIC AREA B: Sustainable wheat production for security, food quality and safety, durum wheat-pasta value chain (1, 6 and 8 of sessions FSTP-5) |
|
Furthermore, there will be nominated 2 candidates by special mentions due to their scientific work, on aforesaid main topics, judged excellent independently from high IF publications and/or important funding support. These special mentions want to award the quality and novelty of the research realized and carried out by women scientists working in developing and/or emerging Countries.
The submission deadline is: 30/04/2025
Rome, has been the host city for the first edition both because it was the 150th anniversary of the birth of Carlotta Parisani and why, exactly a century ago, in this city her husband Nazzareno Strampelli received the prestigious "Premio Santoro" for his work on wheat.
