Preface
The main theme of the XV EUCARPIA General Congress was "Genetics and
Breeding for Crop Quality and Resistance". This theme was addressed in six
different sessions, corresponding to the fIrst six chapters of the Proceedings. Each
session was introduced by a key-note speaker, and included different oral
presentations. The Session on Quality, which was the largest one, was assigned two
key-note lectures, respectively on agro-food quality and on the quality of wood
plants. There were respectively 36 oral presentations and 183 posters exhibited. The
seventh chapter of the Proceedings includes the special lectures which opened and
closed the Congress.
The speakers let us know about the state of the art of the research, on the
application and results of the biotechnology methods, i.e. the facts and perspectives
of the genetic engineering in the improvement of crops, in their quantitative,
qualitative and nutritional characters, in their adaptation to the environment, to the
ecosystems, in their resistance to pests and diseases. This corpus of research and
innovation will have a direct consequence in terms of reduction of environment and
food pollution, of a slower erosion of natural resources (soil, water, atmosphere,
biodiversity), and, ultimately, of a reduced consumption of energy. All with a fmal
am: the sustainability of a modem agriculture.
The Congress was attended by over 300 scientists. More than 70% of the
participants were foreigners which came not only from Europe but also from Japan,
South Africa, Americas, North Africa, thus demonstrating the great interest of the
Congress theme and the prestige of EUCARPIA also in extra-European countries.
Mention is to be made, in this respect, of the fmancial support awarded by
EUCARPIA to numerous scientists travelling from Eastern Europe.
The XVth General Congress has been held in Viterbo, Italy, at the Teatro
dell'Unione, September 20-25, 1998. The theatre, built in 1846, is a neo-classic
building located in downtown Viterbo. The posters' exhibition was held in a
historical church (Almadiani) of the 16th Century. The city ofViterbo is situated in
a hilly area 80 km north of Rome, with pleasant surroundings. Of Etruscan origin, it
was then romanized (Vicus Elbii). It was handed over to the Church in medieval
times and was the scene of disputes between the Empire and the Papacy. The
historical centre has an interesting structure, is still surrounded by turreted walls
(11 th - 13th century) and preserves much of its medieval appearance. Viterbo is also
the chief seat of the University of Tuscia, founded in 1979.
