Woody plants belong to various taxonomic groups, which are heterogeneous in morphology, physiology, and geographic distribution. Molecular mapping techniques, coupled with the availability of cloned genes from herbaceous plants, should provide shortcuts to cloning relevant genes from woody plants.

Considering endophyte diversity and the range of various compounds and enzymes they can produce, endophytes can be used for various biotechnological applications.

The Institute is the owner of yarders, winches, cable cranes etc., and with its own cable crews the Institute operates as a contractor in its own research forests as well as in other state or privately owned forests throughout Norway.

Proceedings of an International Symposium on Scleroderris Canker in Conifers, held in Syracuse, USA, June 21-24, 1983

Planted forests, from irrigated eucalypts in Brazil to Douglas-fir seedlings in the mountains of Oregon, are described and discussed by international experts.

Review papers presented at the Australian Conference, The Role of Trees in Sustainable Agriculture, Albury, Victoria, Australia, October 1991

This proceedings is based on a joint meeting of the two IUFRO (International Union of Forestry Research Organizations) Working Parties, Somatic Cell Genetics (S2.04-07) and Molecular Genetics (S2.04-06) held in Gent, Belgium, 26-30 September, 1995.

In most breeding programs of plant and animal species, genetic data (such as data from field progeny tests) are used to rank parents and help choose candidates for selection.

On the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the International Association of Wood Anatomists several symposia were held during the 13th International Botanical Congress in Sydney, August 1981.

Proceedings of the IUFRO Working Party S2. 04-07 Somatic Cell Genetics, held in Grosshansdorf, FRG, August 10-13, 1987

(1999) find that forest resources continue to diminish, while being called upon to produce a greater range of goods and services and that calls for sustainable forest management will simply go unheeded if the legal, policy and administrative environment do not effectively control undesirable practices.

The Forest Regeneration Manual presents state-of-the-art information about current regeneration practices for southern pines in the United States. In 22 chapters, the Manual details fundamental steps in establishing successful young pine plantations: regeneration planning, including economic and legal aspects;

Woody plants belong to various taxonomic groups, which are heterogeneous in morphology, physiology, and geographic distribution. Molecular mapping techniques, coupled with the availability of cloned genes from herbaceous plants, should provide shortcuts to cloning relevant genes from woody plants.

As an introduction to the present book I would like to explain how it was, that I, a commercial nurseryman, became so keenly interested in Conifers and their nomen clature.

This is a concise and comprehensive review of the biology, ecology, and management of Norway spruce. The huge range of topics covered includes the species' morphology, its physiology and nutrition, and its ecology.

The Berkeley-KVL part of the conference is based on a research collaboration between The Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University (KVL), Copenhagen, University of Cali fornia at Berkeley, and Oregon State University.

Proceedings of the International Conference on Impacts of Global Change on Tree Physiology and Forest Ecosystems, held 26-29 November 1996, Wageningen

Woody plants provide many challenges to the tissue culturist. Consequently, they often do not pay sufficient attention to the problems that specifically apply to in vitro culture of tree species. Culture of the latter often poses problems which are either absent or of lesser significance when culturing herbacious species.

In an lUlffianaged woodland, forest development follows a succession of periods of undisturbed natural growth, interrupted by intermediate loss or damage of trees caused by fire or wind or other natural hazards.

Monitoring of forest condition at the national level started in Finland in 1985 in accordance with the methodology drawn up by the International Co-operative Programme on Assessments and Monitoring of Air Pollution Effects on Forests (ICP Forests, UN/ECE).

Aspects of intermediary nitrogen metabolism 3. NITROGEN METABOLISM IN GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT 3. Precultural factors 3. Cell suspensions 3. Nitrogen metabolism of natural embryos 3. Somatic embryogenesis 3. Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) 3. Douglar-fir and loblolly pine 3. NUTRITIONAL ASPECTS 3. SOMATIC HYBRIDIZATION 3.

Contains chapters focusing on the decision points faced by quantitative geneticists and breeders in designing programs and analyzing data. This handbook was designed as a tool for forest geneticists, tree breeders and other tree improvement personnel, as well as a textbook for university courses at the graduate level in quantitative genetics.

Since the first edition of our book "Tissue Culture in Fores try" in 1982 we have witnessed remarkable advances in cell and tissue culture technologies with woody perennials.

Covers recent advances in the vegetative propagation of woody plants by tissue culture. A wide range of topics relevant to micropropagation of woody plants are discussed, including cellular control of morphogenesis, light regimes in tissue culture and synthetic seed.

This is a concise and comprehensive review of the biology, ecology, and management of Norway spruce. The huge range of topics covered includes the species' morphology, its physiology and nutrition, and its ecology.

Proceedings of the International Workshop on Professional Education and Training held at the University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA, December 5-8, 1988

Contains chapters, which cover studies of embryo development and cell biology of white spruce, proliferative somatic embryogenesis in woody species, somatic embryo germination and desiccation tolerance in conifers, performance of conifer somatic seedlings, and apoptosis during early somatic embryogenesis.

The book presented here is prima rily based on lectures given on the subject of Forest Techniques at the Faculty of Forestry at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and after modifications also at the University of Nairobi (Kenya).
