HortDialogues - an ISHS series of live & on-demand horticultural videos and webinars
- HortDialogues are open to ISHS members and non-members, free-of-charge, compliments of the ISHS.
- Registration is required to join most of the live webinars.
- In case you've missed a live webinar, the recorded video content is available in the ISHS on-demand video library.
- An overview of all ISHS newsfeed items related to HortDialogues is available here
- Please also check the ISHS Hort Forum web page offering a forum for debating the positive and negative aspects of some of the science and technology innovations that are current in our fields of horticulture research.
- If you appreciate this complimentary ISHS service thank you for supporting the society: join the ISHS as a member or keep your ISHS membership current!
- If you are an expert and wish to take the lead in presenting/hosting a HortDialogues webinar yourself do not hesitate to contact the ISHS Secretariat with your proposal.

DNA analysis approaches boost breeding in asexually reproduced crops - a KeyGene Seminar supported by the ISHS Division Ornamentals
For many plant breeders, making steps in using DNA-analysis approaches, such as molecular markers for selection and DNA sequencing for better insight into genetic variation, may feel more challenging than it actually is. This especially holds for breeders of asexually reproduced crops, who are often discouraged by the complexity of their crops' genetics and the limited international community effort compared with other crops such as cereals. Breeders of asexually reproduced crops who now use DNA analysis approaches will often confirm the value of these approaches bring to their variety development, and can explain about the leaps made thanks to such approaches and the challenges they have been facing or maybe are facing now. Experience of early adopters of DNA analysis approaches shows that when starting the journey of using DNA analysis approaches, building genomic and genetic toolboxes, staging the integration of different molecular technologies and building internal capabilities are crucial success factors. That is why KeyGene organized, together with partners, a Seminar (on-site and online) on September 27 around this theme, featuring experts from the plant breeding industry. These experts breed for different asexually propagated crops: soft fruits, plantation, potatoes and ornamentals. They share their experience from the past, lessons learned and views on the future, regarding the use of DNA analysis approaches to accelerate breeding of advanced varieties that combine traits desired by growers, traders, retail and end users.- click here for more information and to watch the on-demand video content
