Hi Santi,
Would you mind passing this on the IUFRO and EvolTREE list serves?
Much appreciated,
Jill
Dear colleagues and friends (apologies for cross-posting)
Please see attached announcement for the first ever joint meeting between
the Western Forest Genetics Association, Southern Forest Tree Improvement
Committee, and Northern Forest Genetics Association: *Forest Genetics
2025* that
will take place *June 23-27th, 2025 in State College, Pennsylvania.*
We are thrilled to bring together forest geneticists from across the globe
to State College, Pennsylvania this spring to lead discussions on the role
of genetics in forest health, conservation, climate adaptation,
biotechnology, tree breeding, seed sourcing and seed transfer, and much,
much more. This meeting will include exciting keynote speakers across a
diversity of topics in forest health and genetics, highlighting a diversity
of research approaches, issues, and advances critical to the field of
forest genetics. The conference will include local field trips to forest
genetics research sites and several free workshops offered prior to the
meeting to facilitate training and extension.
FOR MORE INFORMATION on our tentative schedule, travel, venue, and more see
our website (https://forestgeneticsconference2025.com) *and if your
organization is interested in sponsoring this meeting*: please contact Jill
Hamilton (jvh6349(a)psu.edu) or Conference Organizers (
forestgenetics2025(a)gmail.com).
Stay tuned for further details regarding registration and abstract
submission, which will be provided in December 2024!!

8th International Workshop on Resistance Mechanisms and Breeding in Forest Trees - CALL FOR ABSTRACTS and REGISTRATION
by Caterina Villari
Dear colleagues,
We cordially invite you to participate in the 8th IUFRO International Workshop on Resistance Mechanisms and Breeding in Forest Trees organized by IUFRO WPs 7.03.11 (Tree Resistance to Insects and Pathogens) and 2.02.15 (Breeding and Genetic Resources of Five-Needle Pines).
When: June 1 to 6, 2025
Where: Vernon, British Columbia, Canada
Registration is now open: Please visit the website<https://evoque.swoogo.com/iufro2025/begin> for more details and to register. The deadline for early bird registration is January 15, 2025.
Abstract submission: We are now accepting abstract<https://evoque.swoogo.com/iufro2025/6084000> submissions through the website. The deadline for abstract submission is December 20, 2024.
The Tree Resistance Workshops series provides an international forum to discuss the status and future plans for both tree resistance breeding programs and scientific research efforts in the field of tree resistance mechanisms against pathogens and insects. The topics of discussion will include, among others, conventional tree breeding initiatives, ecology and genetics of resistance and tree-antagonistic relationships in natural and managed tree populations, mechanisms of recognition and signaling of biotic damage and plant defensive strategies, comparative genomics, GWAS, genomic selection and other genomic initiatives looking for resistance, interactive effects of abiotic stressors with biotic resistance, the role of microbiome in resistance, and new methods, technology, and tools for resistance screening. The primary audience is those involved with operational breeding programs as well as academic researchers and extension professionals. We welcome the participation of students and early career professionals.
Become a sponsor and help make this workshop a huge success. Sponsorship money will be used to keep registration costs low. Please visit our sponsorship<https://evoque.swoogo.com/iufro2025/sponsorship> page and download the sponsorship package with details about how your organization can help and take advantage of exposure at this international event!
