Cairo, Egypt (January 27, 2021) - According to the International Seed Testing Association (ISTA), "We are sad to inform you that due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic situation, our Annual Meeting that was scheduled from May 31-June 3, 2021 cannot take place in Cairo, Egypt. Like in 2020, the Annual Meeting will take place virtually.

"We will organize an online discussion session on the ISTA Rule Changes early May, in which all stakeholders will have the opportunity to participate. The Seed Health Seminar that was planned for the Annual Meeting will be a virtual seminar distributed over four individual dates, probably in May.
