Held under the TREATY SBP initiative, the International Soil-Borne Pathogens (SBPs) Workshop (17–20 June 2025) marked an unprecedented scientific and political milestone for wheat security in West Asia and North Africa.
Parallel TREATY SBP activities were conducted in Morocco, Syria, Iran, Algeria, Lebanon, and Tunisia, demonstrating strong political commitment and harmonization of protocols across borders.
From 1,500 bread and durum wheat lines, 312 elite entries were identified through a rigorous selection and evaluation process.
A key takeaway was the pivotal role of multi-disease and multi-environment trials in identifying resilient wheat lines.
Beyond scientific achievements, the TREATY SBP workshop catalyzed a new level of political and institutional alignment.
