Biotechnology in forest tree improvement with special reference to developing countries
This document reports on the present state and future potential of biotechnologies in forest tree breeding, with special reference to their application in developing countries. It concludes that new technologies offer possibilities that will greatly facilitate the work of the tree breeder in the future, but stresses that potential gains can only be realized if the technologies are based on thorough biological, genetic and silvicultural knowledge of concerned species and applied within existing, sound tree-improvement programmes.
