The connection between a description based on partonic degrees of freedom, given in terms of generalized parton distributions, and Regge phenomenology is explored.Proceedings of XII International Conference on Hadron Spectroscopy, October 8-13, 2007, Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (Rome) ItalyHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
