Under the patronage of the Dean of the College of Agriculture, Professor Dr. Ali Abdul-Hussein Kareem,
the Department of Field Crops at the College of Agriculture held a distinguished scientific seminar entitled “The Role of Genetic Improvement through Selection in Enhancing Wheat and Yellow Maize Tolerance to Harsh Environmental Conditions.” The seminar was presented by PhD student Falah Kazem Jawad, and attended by the Scientific Assistant to the Dean, a number of faculty members, and postgraduate students.
The seminar was notable for its use of modern and innovative methods in presenting information, and included the latest research findings in the field of genetic improvement of field crops—especially wheat and yellow maize—to enhance their resistance to harsh environmental conditions such as drought, salinity, and high temperatures.
Attendees praised the seminar, particularly for its interactive presentation style supported by clear tables and up-to-date graphical illustrations, in addition to the rigorous scientific analysis of data and findings from both international and local studies. Faculty members, including several specialists, commended the student’s effective approach in conveying ideas and explaining complex concepts with clarity and ease.
This seminar is part of the ongoing scientific activities that the Department of Field Crops is keen to organize, with the aim of supporting scientific research and enhancing students’ skills in presenting their research and projects in a professional and scientific manner.
