Hello,
After a very successful joint conference in 2014, IUFRO groups 2.02.15 and 7.02.05 will have another joint conference in 2019. The attached announcement provides some detains and asks for an initial response from those interested in either or both of these working groups
July 22-26, 2019 Extended Field Trip: July 26-30, 2019
Purpose: This international meeting will address
Breeding and genetic conservation of 5-needle pines, with special reference to screening and genetics programs for resistance to White Pine Blister rust (Cronartium ribicola). (2.02.15 IUFRO, https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-2/20000/20200/20215/)
Update the current state of knowledge of research in rusts (including blister rust) of forest trees (7.02.05 IUFRO, https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-7/70000/70200/70205/)
For background on the 5-needle pine group, including proceedings from 5 of the conferences we've organized or sponsored since 2001, please visit the https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-2/20000/20200/20215/
I would like to continue to build a mailing list of those scientists interested in this subject group, so, please feel free to also send me a short note of interest.
Best regards,

So the final version is attached, thank you to everyone who contributed to it. Please send this around widely, particularly to potential international participants. I believe we should cap attendance at 110, given the venue space available.
Thanks everyone, looking forward to the conference.

Dear Colleagues from the IUFRO 2.09.02 and IUFRO Division 2 lists
I hope everybody you are well
I am writing to you today because we started to work an ambitious conservation project here in Chile, using somatic embryogenesis in Araucaria araucana, we are based on studies in Araucaria angustifolia described in the book "In Vitro Embryogenesis in Higher Plants, 2016" (Ed. Maria Antonietta Germanà and Maurizio Lambardi).
There is very little information in relation to this species (Araucaria araucana) so, Has anyone worked with this gender or family, and can you recommend me an article?
Thanks in advance
