Value-added products from forest biotechnology

2007-04-01

Abstract excerpt

The three major components of forest biotechnology addressed in this paper are asexual propagation, genomics and genetic engineering (GE). Forest biotechnology offers potential that cannot be realized from conventional breeding because of the long life of forest trees and because of the long time required to make genetic gains through tree improvement programs. Most of the biotechnology research in forest trees ha...
